Description

“Eyes of Capital” is a visual critique of surveillance and the control exercised by capitalism over the city and its inhabitants. At the top, security cameras float alongside a symbolic eye, representing the omnipresent gaze of power. On one side, tall and rigid buildings symbolize the financial center and economic power; on the other, the clustered houses of the outskirts reveal social contrast. On the ground, the trash denounces human and environmental neglect, while small human figures silently protest, almost invisible before the massive structure of the system. The artwork’s border, with geometric symbols, tridents, and suns, evokes the aesthetic of popular woodcut prints, connecting social critique to the imagery of the people’s historical struggles. The limited palette of warm and contrasting colors reinforces the idea of oppression, surveillance, and resistance.
