concept

The human brain has the ability to select visual information received through the eyes, to prevent itself from being exposed to excess data and focus only on what's valuable. The concept is based on this principle: the human eye is instructed to be down to earth. Research that led to this collection started from a personal experience of a beautiful vision seen without contact lenses and went on to explore the relationship between sight and space, the way in which we perceive and analyze what we see and how this can lead to mistakes or to limited, distorted points of view.
