<Fragility in the Eye of the Beholder> drifts between shadow and glare, where the gaze of machines unsettles the ground beneath us. These works whisper of fiction and memory, bodies under watch, and identities refracted through invisible codes. Here, the act of looking becomes fragile—slipping between
control and
resistance,
silence and
revelation.
Through a series of 13 video works, the exhibition questions what it means to be seen in an age of machine vision when observation itself becomes a form of vulnerability.
