Life in my eyes. This painting has 24kg and 925 silver as my eye brows which means Iv have seen and faced lots of people in my life some are genuine relations and some who seeks something out of me, these people are not as before...they changed they became like animals...never think nor seek except for their own good with no mercy.. therefore in order for me to see the real them my eyes changed to an animal eyes so I can read them clearly.
