I would assume that she wasn't making new mirror rooms at 97.

Oh man thats sad. I've been in one of her mirror rooms and they're really trippy.

So trippy. I had dropped a gummy and stumbled into her "Gleaming Lights of the Souls" while visiting the Louisiana Art Museum in Denmark. I was the only person in there. It felt like a dream, almost a nightmare. Kind of haunting, but in a good way.

Now I wonder what it would be like to go inside of a mirrored sphere wearing a glow in the dark jumpsuit...
