Under Surveillance 2 (Watching Over)

A single, commanding eye glows from within a circular, map-like diagram, as if perception itself has been engineered into an instrument—measuring the world while quietly being measured by it. Sooty, feathered strokes veil part of the iris like a wing in mid-fold, introducing a tender obstruction that reads as both protection and censoring, a reminder that vision is never innocent. Warm oranges and bruised reds seep across the surface like weathered stains or lived history, while the charted rings and marginal notes suggest the fragile human desire to systematize emotion, memory, and motive. The work suspends us between surveillance and reverie: an atlas of inner life where observation becomes a form of vulnerability.
