The collection titled "Expressions" consists of 50 computer-generated images, each featuring a female eye. The eyes portrayed in these images are not real, but rather a product of digital rendering. They do not belong to any particular person, yet at the same time, they belong to everyone. Although they appear to gaze at nothing in particular, their gaze is all-encompassing, directed towards all of us. The eyes are adorned with makeup that was never actually applied by anyone, but represents every type of makeup that has ever been used. Using Artificial Intelligence software called "Text to image," each image is generated by composing a line of text, which led to a series of eyes and a set of unanswerable questions.
