Note from the artist:
When you post anything on social media, it lasts forever. My mom warned me. Teachers warned me. Now I warn others. When we post images, thinking they’ll only exist on our profiles–the places we chose to upload them–bots scan those pictures and videos we’ve shared. Before we know it, we’re permanently plastered on some unknown website in a foreign country.
The eyes in this piece symbolize the feeling of being watched by thousands of unfamiliar eyes. Although a screen separates you from the audience, it can feel as if they’re hovering in the same room, surrounding you. Inversely, the eyes can symbolize our own time spent watching and the endless stream of content that floods our attention. We are both the observers and the observed. The “feeders” and the “fed on.”
The connectivity resembles neurons, as if we’re all part of the same brain. In Veil of Eden, the country/planet/system the characters inhabit is called “Cerebis,” meaning “brain world.”
