Psychic City follows eyes across bodies, signs, patches, murals and spiritual symbols. Repetition turns the eye from an organ into a charged urban motif.
Each appearance carries a different relation to vision. Some eyes look back; others promise surveillance, protection, intuition or access to what remains hidden. The photographs do not collapse these meanings into one symbol. They ask why the eye so readily gathers ideas about consciousness and power.
The series maps the distance between biological sight, the social exchange of the gaze and the desire to perceive beyond surfaces. In the city, looking is never one-directional. To see is also to enter a field in which one may be seen.
