This work by Alfredo Jaar combines visual and conceptual unity. Visually, the piece is cohesive in that it uses similar shapes, color scheme, repetition, and continuity. The curves of the eyes and the arches of the eyebrows flow and connects one side to the other. Conceptually, the picture links associational concepts with eyes, such as watching or viewing. Jaar's work suggests these affiliations with the ambiguous boxes surrounding the eyes leading one to connect eyes to objects such as lenses, windows, or screens.
