Having an Eye on Diversity

Implicit biases include attitudes that form through experiences and operate outside an individual’s awareness. Due to implicit cognitive biases, people may often attribute certain qualities or characteristics to all members of a particular group, a phenomenon known as stereotyping or prejudice. Stigma-induced discrimination and is associated with different negative outcomes such as more psychological distress, more depressive symptoms, less self-esteem and the reduction of perceived quality of life. 

In the cycle The Eye I wanted to stay conscious about diversity and inclusion and to present many different eyes symbolising our diversity. Due to the abstract character of my art, I do not stick to the visualisation of the eye though.
