Every eye shares a different depth of history and beauty. To me, eyes are like the portal to one's soul. It's the deep, infinite illusion an eye radiates which inspired this piece. Abstractly, eyes are represented in this piece through being geometrically mirrored on the breasts. The pupil is highlighted by the raw essence of the nipple. Visionary laser lines strike, crossing at calculated points of intersection. Reminiscent of scientific diagrams and refractions of light, geometric patterns form before falling into waves of a blurred vision.This piece speaks about eyes and their poetic power.
