By Way of Sight

Solo Exhibition By Leyli Rashidi Rauf8 to 22 July 2022

Every quest begins with “sight” and it is “distance” that is required to be able to see. I observe what surrounds me, whatever stands at a distance, in search of my boundaries; where “I” ends and another begins.

This series, entitled “By Way of Sight”, is an attempt at studying the subjectivity and objectivity of our own existence which, aside from the presence of the painter and subjectivity in the context, continues in the absence of figures and through objects, exploiting the veils between and exploring the hidden facets of “I”.

The exhibited works, created between the years 2016 and 2022, are the result of a quest for our own “being” among objects depicted in disarray.
