CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
An interactive of a white front oblong silhouette of a face with ears with eye-holes, on a rectangular glass with a metal frame, mounted straight through the center with a square aluminum pole fixed to a curved metal stand. This work explores perception using mirrors, as an unexpected perspective is achieved when the viewer peers through the eyes in the sculpture and meet the eyes of another person peering through from the other side.
