window reflections
Pane-caught mirror images
Window reflections are the images that appear in glass when light bounces back rather than passing through.
During daytime, you see the outside world reflected; at night, interior lights turn windows into mirrors.
The phrase often evokes contemplative moments—someone gazing at their reflection while looking out: She studied her window reflection, lost in thought.
In photography and film, window reflections create layered imagery, superimposing interior and exterior scenes.
