Scopophobia

The term "scopophobia" is derived from two Greek words:

1. "Skopein" (σκοπεῖν) meaning "to look" or "to observe."

2. "Phobos" (φόβος) meaning "fear" or "dread."

Combining these elements, "scopophobia" literally translates to "fear of being looked at" or "fear of being observed."

This term is often used to describe the specific anxiety disorder related to social situations, where individuals feel a persistent and exaggerated fear of being watched or judged by others.

Scopophobia trilogy delves into the theme of fear, specifically the fear of being seen or judged. These abstract and surreal paintings convey a sense of vulnerability and isolation. The pieces in this collection were based on the experiences of depersonalization and the fear of being oneself. The use of eyes in the pieces is a recurring theme, representing the fear of being seen and judged by others. The series also explores the idea of interconnectedness, as seen in the piece "All Eyes on Me".
