What does it mean to exist under a gaze that is never fully seen?

These paintings explore the structures that shape the gaze and define the relationship between observer and subject. They ask how the possibility of being watched shapes the way we occupy space.

The figures inhabit quiet, familiar spaces where the possibility of being watched never fully disappears. The observer is never fully revealed, yet their presence is felt through stillness, distance, and passivity. An unseen gaze lingers at the edges of these scenes, transforming ordinary moments into spaces of quiet unease. Invisible yet persistent, it permeates the image without ever revealing its source.

Rather than revealing the observer, these paintings examine the conditions under which the gaze operates. The act of looking places the viewer within the very structure the paintings seek to reveal. In looking, the viewer becomes implicated in the dynamics of the gaze.
