I began doodling and drawing over my passport images, and found myself like some of my previous work from a while ago taking the eyes out of the image. Thus making the image go from a standard clear portrait with personality coming through, to becoming creepy and quite chilling. It’s interesting to me that such a transformation can come from just taking the eyes out of the picture, but as i mentioned in an earlier post ‘the eyes are the door to the soul’, and in this piece it becomes true.
To me these images are very effective and I can see myself progressing with it, however with taking the eyes out of the image it totally changes the viewer’s perspective. I would like the viewer to look at the eyes of my family members, because then it becomes more personal and that is what my work is about.
