Diana Rubi
Stereopsis (Single)
DESCRIPTION
“My left eye beckoned the right to unveil its gaze, and together they managed to perceive, through two subtly different images, the magical origin of space and the power of three-dimensionality.”
Humans possess the visual capacity to perceive the world in three dimensions. Each of our eyes captures a slightly different image due to the separation of the nose, and our brain reconstructs them, forming a three-dimensional image. This phenomenon is known as stereopsis.
The mystery of the power of our brain captivated me to represent this capacity through this self-portrait, which took five long photo sessions and was captured using real crystal cubes.
