Why are so many of my works have this leitmotif of eyes?
Why this eye mania ?
 Some social cues elude me, but an open, striking, or fearful eye—those are signals I instinctively understand and emotions I can convey, re-infuse into my art. Could it stem from my difficulty in making direct eye contact with others? Perhaps it reflects a deeper fear: the fear of scrutiny, of being judged or misunderstood. Or is it the viewer's gaze I seek to capture, a desire to be seen and recognized among my peers?
I know it would be best for me to let go of this eye, this gaze, whether it is judging or admiring one.

Collection of my paintings and drawings featuring eyes, 16 pages. 

Content  warnings : lot of eyes, some drawing are horror-themed and one is a bit gore.

J'aime beaucoup ! Je me questionnais aussi sur l'importance des yeux dans mes propres dessins. Je trouve ça super intéressant. Et aussi c'est super la visualisation comme ça !

Merci ! Du coup tu intreprete comment les yeux dans tes oeuvres à toi ? La visualisation c’est avec EZMreader, il fallait un peu modifier le script pour que ça marche avec le nombre de pages mais sinon c’est vraiment facile à mettre en place!
