The whole series as a set of 6 measures 60 x 120 cm (23.6 x 47.2 in).
Gaze into this beautiful embroidery and step right into the world of a frog. Frog eyes come in a stunning range of colours and patterns. The one in the embroidery is golden and black, with a spectrum of hues in between. Most frogs see well only at the distance and can only perceive moving objects, but they have excellent night vision and are very sensitive to blue light. They cannot turn their heads, but the position and shape of their eyes allow them to see almost the entire 360 degrees. Compared to mammals that can focus images by changing the shape of the lens, frog eyes focus like a camera, by moving the lens back and forth. Embroidered piece brings frog eye to life in naturally bright and diverse colours and with exquisite detail.
In ancient Greece, they believed that a light and even fire emanates from an eye, seizing the surrounding world with its rays. It opens to the world and grasps more than any words can say. And like a portal to one’s inside, it can reveal a lot, even things that cannot or would not be said with words. It really is the window to the soul and the mirror of our world. Gazes of animals are mesmerizing and at the same time a powerful reminder of who we are in this world and of how co-dependent we all are on the planet we share.
Get your masterpiece today and sink deep into the beauty of living eyes.
