The genesis of this piece can be traced back to the captivating short story "The Fauna of Mirrors" found within Borges' remarkable collection, "The Book of Imaginary Beings." Within the narrative, ethereal beings are ensnared within mirrors and reflective planes by the mystical powers of the Yellow Emperor. However, the passage of time gradually erodes this enchantment, heralding a future wherein these denizens of mirrors shall transcend their confines, surging forth to claim dominion over the world we know.
