This projection-based installation examines the dynamics of gaze, subjectivity, and identity through a point-of-view framework. Its central aim is to confront viewers with the experience of being looked at, not as empowered subjects but as reflections.

 

Large-scale projected eyes meet the audience’s gaze, creating the unsettling realization that the act of looking is reciprocated.

 

While inspired by Laura Mulvey’s theory of the male gaze, the work expands the concept by incorporating both animal and female gazes, presenting the experience of being observed and monitored rather than solely being viewed through a male perspective. It invites viewers, regardless of gender, to inhabit and empathize with the weight of such constant surveillance.
