Spurred out of a curiosity surrounding my own limitations as a maker, “Les Yeux Sans Visage” acts as an examination of the transparent quality of glass and its potential relationship to fragility and defenselessness. By utilizing a nontraditional color palette, I assert myself in the modern painting sphere, whilst using the mode of a traditional still life to communicate an idea. Inspired by the desire to expand my skillset as a painter, this piece is a culmination of a semesters worth of consummate work. Here, I am interested in drawing similarities between the act of vulnerability and glass objects.
