The piece speaks for itself: My Eyes Are Up Here. This loop animation adds another layer of depth to this retort; when the viewer zooms in closer to the breast of the figure, her top opens to reveal her unforgiving, disdainful stare. This piece really heavily utilizes imagery of eyes and is a play on the concept of the objectifying “male gaze,” throwing this concept back to the viewer of the piece.
I was inspired by this top that I saw when I was scrolling on Instagram. This top resembled gloves that held the breast, and I thought it was an interesting choice, especially since it was both sexually empowering and censoring at the same time, almost suggesting something more sinister.
