Eyes on Me delves into themes of surveillance, societal expectations, and self-perception. The use of shirt sleeves and buttons as eyes, staring at Marilyn Monroe, reflects the scrutiny she faces, prompting her to question her own identity and how she portrays herself to the world. This piece explores the contrast between self-perception and external judgement, aligning with the “Identity” theme by questioning how personal identity is shaped by societal influences. Crafted on a repurposed canvas, this artwork critiques notions of beauty in a consumer-driven world, emphasising the importance of self-awareness and resilience.
