“The Eye” explores themes of perception, identity, and self-awareness in a world saturated with observation. The human face—the primary marker of individuality—is obscured, replaced by an enlarged, distorted eye, as if the act of looking has taken precedence over the essence of being.
The image raises questions about how we perceive ourselves and how others see us. Are we truly noticed, or merely observed? Does the gaze reveal truth, or does it distort reality? The fragmented reflections within the eye suggest a dual existence—both internal and external—at once familiar and alien.

The contrast between the deep red garment and the stark white background highlights the tension between the personal and the impersonal, between presence and detachment. In an era where surveillance, digital identities, and social visibility shape our existence, “The Eye” becomes a meditation on the fragile boundary between looking and being seen
