Open-edition print
2021, New York· Original: black ink on paper.
Uneven Gaze presents a single oversized head, pared down to bold contours and a few sharp features. The eyes are intentionally uneven, one rounded and dark, the other reduced to a small square, so the gaze lands slightly off-center, alert but not fully aligned. Above, a patterned “crown” of repeating marks and stripes sits like decoration or defense, adding rhythm to an otherwise spare face.
The geometry stays simple but uneasy: a long, angular nose cuts through the center, the mouth curves into a half-smile with small teeth, and a rigid block-like shape presses against the cheek like part of a mask. With so few lines, the expression becomes ambiguous, part playful, part guarded, capturing the quiet tension between what is shown and what is held back.
