Fractured Perceptions

Project Description

This captivating art piece, crafted from pressed copper, invites viewers into a profound exploration of vulnerability and perception. The intricate shapes, resembling eyes, are meticulously designed with cut-out holes in the backplate, creating a unique interplay between the artwork and the audience. As light filters through these openings, it symbolizes a window to the soul, revealing the depths of human emotion and experience. The copper gleams with warmth, evoking a sense of intimacy and reflection. This piece powerfully conveys the duality of our existence—the courage to be open and exposed while simultaneously acknowledging our instinct to shield our innermost selves behind the gaze of our eyes. It serves as a striking reminder that while we may present a facade to the world, our true selves are always yearning to be seen and understood.
