I called it that because the eye eye or the person is looking at something that is making her said and cry. Also if you look close enough you can what she is looking at. She is looking at a sunset. My inpesiration for this project is m.c esher and all of his great works of art that make the human eye think. Most o his works art have to do with mathematical and bigger then life ideas.

I was trying to tell the viewer that some one that is evil is looking at something peaceful and calming and is turning that person normal and not evil. I really enjoyed working on this project because I never thought I could do art like that. Also because I enjoyed drawing being creative I really liked doing this. In conclusion I really liked doing this project because I liked drawing and using different parts of my mined to be creative.
