You wrote: the title of his exhibition is the gathering of pictures that accompanies it. Three pictures of a purple eye, cut up, aspect by aspect.

You mentioned that the primary picture, a purple form in opposition to a gray backdrop, felt acquainted however resisted identification. You advised me that it reminds you of an eye fixed, vigilant and watchful, intertwined with the sharpness of a pointer, guiding.

You wrote: this picture is sort of a half-memory, in a haze, particulars softened, an invite to ponder its secrets and techniques.

Within the second picture, you advised me, related shapes seem. The attention and arrow merge of their enigmatic pull, centered on the display, particulars blurred on the edges, as if the lens was smudged. You questioned if it’s a twin to the primary piece, and whether or not this means that readability just isn’t at all times vital for understanding. Is that this motion a suggestion, a mild nudge in the direction of which means?

You wrote: the standard of those pictures will draw you in the direction of a mysterious dance.

The third picture, you mentioned, will stand with daring readability as soon as the blur is generally lifted to disclose the design. The purple strains will probably be crisp in opposition to a brownish-white background, the attention’s kind will probably be distinct, the cursor’s thrust assured and unwavering. You mentioned you want the picture to talk with a transparent voice, as its symbolism turns into unmistakable: the fusion of imaginative and prescient and route, notion and objective.

You wrote: this picture will crystallize what the others hinted at.

These three pictures, like his exhibition, didn’t use phrases. You wrote that the pictures themselves generated language. That they served as a premonition of one thing not but realized. You mentioned that you just had heard songs of inexperienced and yellow and silver and the odor of camphor. And in that absence of phrases, we tried to make pictures converse.
