light bounces off the mirror
light is created by the mirror

Mirrors work based on the principle of reflection. Light rays from objects (including our own body) hit the mirror surface and bounce off (reflect). This reflected light enters our eyes, allowing us to see an image. Mirrors do not create light, absorb light in the way that allows us to see an image, nor does light pass through a mirror in the context of seeing a reflection (light bending is refraction which occurs when light passes from one medium to another like from air to glass in lenses, not in the case of mirror - reflection).
