“Eyes of Courage” delves into the profound power of self-expression through the eyes. In its original state, with fragmental shapes against a gray background, the viewer is unable to fully visualize the artwork’s power and only sees fragmented pieces. However, as the background behind the eyes transitions to a darker tone, the artwork comes to life, presenting a gladiator portraying the emotion of courage before a battle.

The contrast between light and dark backgrounds showcases the dynamic nature of the piece. The light background renders the artwork almost invisible, highlighting the fragility and hidden strength within the fragmented shapes. When the background darkens, the eyes become a focal point, exuding strength and resilience. This transformation brings the artwork to life, emphasizing the duality of human expression and the courage that lies within us all.
