Description
In this evocative study of perception, the human eye is reimagined as an island within a tranquil pond, surrounded by floating lavender lily pads. The iris itself acts as a concave mirror, capturing a sun-drenched landscape that feels both deeply intimate and impossibly vast. It is a dialogue between the seen and the seer, where the delicate textures of the eyelashes echo the organic lines of the water’s surface, bridging the gap between classical inspiration and contemporary vision.
Living with this piece offers a daily invitation to pause and look closer at the world around us. Its soft, prismatic palette of lilac, sage, and ochre creates a focal point that is both intellectually stimulating and profoundly calming. It serves as a reminder that the beauty of nature is not just something we observe from afar, but something we are intrinsically part of, reflected in the very windows of our soul.
Purpose
The work aims to capture the essence of ‘seeing’ as a creative act, using the visual language of the 19th-century masters to explore how we process light, color, and memory.

From the Eyecons collection:
One motif anchors the entire collection: the eye. From the ochre marks of prehistoric caves to the luminous pixels of the present, each piece distills a movement and its master into a single gaze — Caravaggio’s chiaroscuro, Monet’s broken light, Klimt’s gilded symbolism, Lichtenstein’s printed dots, Basquiat’s raw line. The familiar subject becomes a lens for seeing how human vision itself has been imagined and reimagined.
Viewed together, these works read as a visual history of looking — a dialogue between eras that share nothing but the will to depict sight. The recurring frame invites comparison and rewards slow attention, turning a wall into a timeline. Whether shown alone or in sequence, each gaze meets the room with quiet intensity, drawing the viewer into the conversation.
