What emotions arise when we are surrounded by animals ? That sense of being watched and the intensity of their gaze is what I sought to capture in my artwork - a representation of animals eyes staring at you.
To achieve this, I created eight 3D animal gazes using epoxy resin, expanded polystyrene, and acrylic paint. I meticulously painted the eyes on the polystyrene, then applied epoxy resin to mimic the cornea’s reflective surface.
To enhance the feeling of being observed, I arranged the eyes close to one another on a black background, creating the impression that you’re surrounded by a multitude of animals, all gazing at you. I placed them in a rectangular white frame to further emphasize their presence and focus.
