Spiral

Acrylic on canvas

Inspired by Hitchcock’s Rear Window, this piece creates an ambiguous representation of a viewer. Is the figure looking at us, surveilling us? Are we witnessing a person visibly undergoing a form of visions-related insanity? Are we being hypnotized?

The background, a mix of blues and pinks and purples, refers to both the chaos and ubiquity of gender expectations as a backdrop for the viewer’s experiences, emphasizing the pervasiveness of these dynamics even in confusion.
