"Eye" is a work that invites the viewer to enter an intimate space between the gaze and the observed object. With meticulous realism, the piece highlights a human eye with an intense blue hue, where every detail — from the skin texture to the reflected glow in the pupil — is rendered with near-photographic precision. The curled eyelashes, pores, and subtle color variations reveal a profound exploration of the fragility and strength contained in the act of looking.

This work transforms a simple fragment of the face into an autonomous universe, where the eye ceases to be merely a sensory organ and becomes a symbolic portal to perception, memory, and identity. The reflection in the iris functions as an entry point, suggesting the presence of something beyond the visible — a world that exists within each person and is rarely shown.
