Both Christopher Alexander and Rick Rubin use this exact metaphor.

SYNAPSE ~ Process for identifying the feeling
(What is the feeling? The Mirror of the Self.)

~ The Creative Act, "Point of View"

When making art, we create a mirror
in which someone may see their own
hidden reflection

Maybe related to epiphanies? What sort of epiphanies? Epiphanies of the self... mirror of the self is the way to get there...
