Eyes

Seeing is not a passive process. It is not a window through which the world simply flows in. Seeing is an activity — an active reception, a selection, an interpretation. In every moment your eyes are open, your system decides what is let through and what is not. What is marked as important. What as threatening, what as beautiful, what as too much.

When your eyes develop complaints — burning, drying, tearing, blurring, twitching, exhausting, losing their sharpness — they are rarely reacting to something purely mechanical. They are reacting to what you let in. Or precisely what you do not let in. Because between what your eyes register physically and what actually arrives inside you lies an entire space: the space of your inner perception, coloured by everything you have experienced until now.
