About the Artwork:
“This is about the power of perception. After working on a series depicting the female torso with its nipples as its eyes I wanted to create a pair of drawings that focused more on the eyes themselves. In this piece the figure is rendered with blurry soft edges while the eyes are drawn in sharp detail, as if the power of perception surpasses the limitation of the flesh.” – 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.
