Artist Statement
Interoculaire examines the persistent weight of the male gaze. Through the juxtaposition of a lone female figure against a clinical grid of watching eyes inspired by vintage optometry posters, I visualize how surveillance and objectification become embedded within cultural systems. The figure's turned back suggests both vulnerability and defiance—refusing to return the gaze while remaining subject to it. In inhabiting the liminal spaces between visibility and concealment, my practice aims to translate complex power dynamics into visual language that questions how unseen forces shape lived experiences, particularly for marginalized bodies. By fragmenting the form with disembodied eyes, I consider how digital infrastructures intensify traditional forms of objectification while distributing new forms of harm. This work invites viewers to recognize their own participation in systems of looking, challenging them to question dominant technological narratives and consider alternative futures.
