The Inner Self

My aim with this artwork was to create a painting in three dimensions. I wanted it to rely on the presentation of motion for effect and to play with the viewer in the first person. My goal is to involve the audience in a new dimension within the viewing experience. I feel that I created a piece that effectively expresses the interrelationship between matter, space and viewer sensations.
I was interested in the analogy between objects and human bodies. Rather than regarding the two entities as radically different - one being soulless and functional and the other governed by intuition and insight - I wanted to imply that humans might be more than irrational engines of conflicting lusts and urges, like dysfunctional machines. I wanted for them to feel something in their body through their eyes that reminds them that they are alive in their own bodies. ©2020 Alejandra Sieder
