"This piece shows you looking outside from the inside, what I see is my immediate line of vision. Through the glasses, you see clear, and on top of the glasses, you see blurry, because that's the way it is when you have strong prescriptions, you don't see clear above the lens." — Robin Antar
Painted from behind her own eyes, "Glasses" places the viewer directly inside Antar's left eye, looking out past the nose and the frame of her glasses. The world seen through the lens resolves in sharp focus, while everything above it dissolves into blur, an exacting record of what it actually means to see through strong prescription glasses. It is a deceptively simple premise carried out with total precision, translating something as private and unremarkable as one's own eyesight into a shared, almost startling act of seeing as someone else sees.
