About the Artwork:

“A piece from my ongoing series of gaze from a female body reduced to a subject to be consumed. This piece attempts to ‘talk’ to the audiences from the small window with its direct gaze while being concealed in a thick frame as if it’s an object through a peeping window.” – Reiko Murakami

(Artist Bio)

Reiko Murakami is a US based illustrator specialized in surreal fantasy art. Her work’s subtle texture effect is created by layering a variety of thin paper media such as tracing paper on top of graphite drawings. Often the image is finished with a white ink drawing of a secondary image that either emphasizes or counters the symbolic meaning of the base figure.
