Eyes

Observing, learning, creating, judging.

We exist because of what came before us. Our steps, our thoughts, our visions are built from fragments already thought, already seen. In visual art we do not invent from nothing; we observe, we learn, we recombine the inherited world, then offer it to other eyes for judgment. True originality is the art of skillful combination. Every new image is a palimpsest of all images that ever met a retina.

This work is dedicated to eyes from different perspectives, inviting reflection on experience, the visual world, the creation of art in all its forms, and our shared cultural and visual heritage.

Inspired by Muriel Lherm’s artwork Within, I Stay.
