EYES IN LOOPS is a series that borrows the form of symbols to reexamine how we perceive and the culturally constructed meanings of the “face.” Ribbons, often seen as symbols of cuteness or decoration, take on a different role when tied across the face—becoming almost like blindfolds that create a distance or dislocation between seeing and being seen. This very dislocation reflects the wavering of my own gaze and forms a circular relationship between the inner self and the external world—what I call Eyes in Loops.The characters in the series often possess a sense of anonymity, and the relationship between the observer and the observed is absorbed into a looping structure. The ribbon-like lines appear as visual links between the eyes and the mouth, suggesting a space where sensation and speech, observation and expression, intersect. The shape of the ribbon resembles the infinity symbol (∞), hinting at an endless circulation of vision and language.Starting from a sense of visual discomfort, the work gradually connects to psychological and linguistic themes. When “seeing” and “speaking” are tied together by a single ribbon, a circuit of meaning emerges—one that transcends mere decoration and quietly unsettles our perception.
