Iris #14

The Iris series is a group of works depicting the iris of the human eye as a motif. While the iris is the part of the human body that emits the richest color, it is unique enough to be used in personal authentication systems. People carry a variety of information inside and outside of their bodies that identify each person, and people use it as collateral to connect with society and live. This work is a portrait as a “symbol of the individual,” and I am trying to capture aspects of “individual and public relationships” through this work. In terms of techniques, we are trying to reduce the resolution to the limit by simplifying and abstracting the complex patterns of irises. By transforming the information and characteristics of motifs into symbolic colors and forms, viewers are encouraged to complement the information in the brain. I think that the flat surface made with acrylic paint will help this, and the original personality and presence strongly emitted by the target will be perceived more realistically.
