Eye (2024-25)

Sculpture + Video

I often think about our fragile perception of reality.

Our perception of reality is not reality itself but a 3D interface of something we do not (yet) have the intelligence of comprehending. Our brains don’t passively receive reality; they actively construct it.

What we see and experience is very much affected by our past experiences, emotions, cultural background and they shape how we perceive the world. This is why two people can experience the same event differently.

Everyone has their own version of this world (truth) rendered in their minds, the reason for most human conflict.

Which is why it’s so important to be compassionate and look beyond your own perspective - to be in someone else’s world and understand why their world exists the way it does

This eye is a reminder that we don’t really see the world but we feel it.

For me to look inward and to be aware of my own programming that bends my perception of the world.

And to look beyond my eyes, beyond my own subjective perspective to truly understand and connect with the world
