“Eyes” series


About this series "Eyes" series was made in 1997 in Paris, due to my constant conflict with self-censorship. 1997 - 2000. (300 x 100 cm); 1600 (papier mâché) “eyes” made of Iranian newspapers. "The Eyes" represents the social pressures that result in self-censorship. These social pressures include the traditional values and morals that control every person in society through the eyes of the family, neighbors, and public in general. They watch. They are always present... here... there... everywhere. They look from outside and even inside. The eyes watch.
