This collection presents faces pressed into frames, openings, and narrow fields of view. Vision is restricted, controlled, and enforced. The act of seeing becomes compulsory rather than elective, and proximity replaces intimacy.

Figures appear alert, contained, and unable to retreat. Hands reach toward surfaces that do not yield. Frames no longer present images; they confine them. What emerges is not a revelation, but a condition—where visibility is sustained under pressure, and perception itself becomes a form of restraint.

A figure with wide eyes presses a hand against a transparent surface inside a circular opening set within a rough, dark structure, with wet ground visible below.

A standing figure in a dress faces a window in a small room, with a large dark rectangular object obscuring the head and fragmented panels floating around the space.

A close-up portrait within an ornate dark frame shows a face partially covered by black textured material, with a gloved hand raised near the edge of the frame under warm interior light.

A close-up of a face with wide eyes pressed into a small square opening in a worn, dark wooden surface, with one finger touching the cheek inside the frame.

A seated figure in a red garment rests a hand near the mouth, with the face partially covered by stacked, pale textured layers while sitting in a dark, ornate chair.

A close-up of a green eye visible through a triangular opening in a dark surface, with a red‑gloved finger touching the edge of the opening and reflections on a glossy floor below.

A face divided by horizontal slits appears behind a reflective surface, with a hand pressing forward from above, creating layered breaks across the eyes and mouth.

A face with wide eyes pushes through a broken rectangular frame embedded in a rough surface, with hands gripping the edges and debris scattered below under dim lighting.

A large blue eye peers through a broken rectangular frame embedded in a rough wall, with cracked edges and debris visible around the opening.

A face with wide eyes appears inside a red-framed screen in a dark industrial corridor, with a hand raised toward the viewer and cracked textures across the display.

A close-up of a face seen through a torn, textured opening in a dark frame, with one eye and part of the cheek visible and a hand touching the edge of the opening.
