Eyes of Michigan
Eyes of Michigan
2021
Coloured pencil on mixed media paper
"Eyes of Michigan" consists of eye drawings of people from the University of Michigan. It is commonly said that eyes are the windows to the soul, and I aimed to capture the facet of life and expression in just one aspect of a person. Each drawing took 20-30 minutes.
This project occurred when COVID mask restrictions were still in place. Eyes were the main thing we saw in a person’s face that was not covered by a mask. I made it a point to make each of these encounters in person during the era of online learning, as there is so much detail and life that a screen cannot capture. I captured how the present states of those individuals created nuances in the expressions of their eyes, whether it was through lighthearted conversation or working in peaceful silence.
