The Eyes is a 5-minute 16mm film on video that carries forward the artist’s silent way of communicating with a feral cat named Xiaoyu. Through the repeated gesture of blinking and the presence of Xiaoyu’s absence, the film reflects on the reciprocal gaze between human and animal, exploring perception, distance, and communication beyond language.
