Epistēmē

Epistēmē confronts the viewer with a series of fundamental questions: Who determines what is seen? How layered is the relationship between reality and representation? Does the gaze operate through a single perspective, or is knowledge constructed through multiple ways of seeing?

The collage's multi-eyed face, organic, surreal hair structure, and the fragmented body in the background visually echo Michel Foucault’s notion of epistēmē, signaling the multiplicity of knowledge regimes. Here, seeing is not merely a sensory act—it becomes an epistemological field through which truth is constructed and meaning is granted.

This work acts as a visual inquiry into the invisible systems, historical structures, and discursive powers that shape one’s understanding of reality. Truth, gaze, and identity intertwine into a puzzle of layered perception, awaiting deconstruction.
