“Grandma,” a photograph by Lisa Hartung, Farmington, Maine

Hartung manipulates digital photographs to convey the intense emotion that eyes can communicate without words. Images of eyes are arranged to create a visual rhythm, similar to wallpaper. “My goal is for viewers to see a visually intriguing pattern upon first glance, enjoying the repetition of color and shape,” she says. “Maybe they will notice that the wall examines them as they examine it.”
