To look is also to position the body.
Peering Series is a group of small optical apparatuses that compress the act of looking into a close, narrow and bodily encounter. The viewer must approach the object, align the eye, adjust distance and accept a restricted field of vision.
The works resist the smoothness of contemporary image-making. They do not offer the effortless capture of a smartphone or the stable view of a camera. Instead, they produce partial images, interrupted recording, compressed distance and minimal gestures of attention.
Abyss draws the gaze inward. Unrecord withholds the promise of capture. FarEye turns distance into a small handheld condition. Peer reduces the apparatus of looking to its most minimal form.
Together, the works ask what remains of seeing when vision is no longer expansive, seamless or immediately recordable, but narrow, physical and uncertain.
