“Circule”

The environment I live in is chaotic, however, it is interesting which point of view one chooses. One might find peaceful “visual”, in which he/she feels comfortable and thoroughly settled. Every individual chooses his/her own life. Everything is in our hands.

“Uncertainty”

Every day we come across numerous challenges, we have to make many decisions and incessantly gain information from local as well as global platforms.

“Gaze”

The “male gaze” invokes the sexual politics of the gaze and suggests a sexualised way of looking that empowers men and objectifies women. In the male gaze, woman is visually positioned as an “object” of heterosexual male desire. Her feelings, thoughts and her own sexual drives are less important than her being “framed” by male desire.
