Eye Portrait
Fall 2025
Adobe Photoshop
I was inspired to mix an eye with a cracked texture because I liked the idea of blending something human with something worn and broken. The contrast between the smooth eye and the rough cracks made the image feel more dramatic and symbolic. I also wanted to experiment with texture and layering without making the project too complicated. But Overall, the piece let me play with emotion and abstraction in a simple but effective way.
