Pile of EyesEntry/Object ID
2556.Pa17Description
The watchful, pressure-filled eyes of society strip us bare, leaving us exposed. How do we protect ourselves from such stress? We cover up, hide behind a mask.
It is important to acknowledge the impact of whom the eyes belong to. Are they eyes of admiration? Are they predatory eyes? Are they eyes of judgement and disapproval?
But, when someone is so accustomed to the gaze of one type of eye, one assumes that is the perspective of all. We are trained by our environment and its inhabitants. Therefore, pointing to the importance of community and the standards they set.Artwork Details
