After that, for reasons of life, I got sick with COVID-19. Don't worry, I'm fine now, it was a pretty tough week of recovery, the symptoms came unprepared. I am telling you this to explain why I have been absent these days, since the desire to post was immediate, but I was incapacitated during this time.
Now more than ever I come with the intention of posting more content for the platform. Today I will share a concept that I have been developing for a few weeks. From a very young age I have been fascinated by the eyes, their shape, the colors, what a look can convey. Since my brother taught me to use the internet, I have used this tool to a great extent to save as many photos or eye edits as I managed to achieve, I even had a folder with more than 700 edited eye photo files.
This fascination has led me to want to make an allegory of what I feel the eyes can represent. In this composition, I chose to make a set of eyes looking out from a crack in space. Where the looks of many things are responsible for generating a trial. As a spectator, we see ourselves in the condition of not knowing what those looks transmit, since we do not know the context in which they observe us.
Here is a bit of the process of developing and executing the illustration.
A look can convey many feelings and emotions, these are usually accompanied by a gesture, a face. With these simple elements, we are able to decode such a complex message, housed in a simple glance. In this case, they are just eyes, moreover, these are dirty, stained with prejudices, they are being hampered by dogmas, locked in the loop of culture. All these in smearing the true usefulness of eyes. Which is to observe how events unfold, without judgments, without opinions, without layers or filters.
We live in a society where we first judge what we see, and then we give ourselves the opportunity to know and understand what we are really seeing. Understanding has become an action of consciousness that only a few sages have mastered. Peace is just around the corner, we just have to learn to observe.
Blessings to all of you, see you next time, in one more story to tell.
