Cultural Strabismus, 1996 – 2000
The artist reflects on the overwhelming presence of mass-reproduced images in contemporary media, where meaning is often diluted or lost amid cultural commodification. This visual saturation hinders our ability to deeply see or interpret images. Drawing from personal experience with strabismus (a condition causing double vision) and dyslexia, the artist explores how visual and cognitive disconnects can serve as metaphors for broader cultural blindness—where society sees injustice or scientific truth but chooses to ignore or deny it. These conditions inspire a deeper inquiry into how perception, belief, and understanding are shaped by both biology and ideology.
