NAYAN

In Sanskrit, Nayan (नयन) means "eye" and evokes a poetic dimension of perception and vision. This term also gives title to a song created in 2015 by my Nepalese partner, Sandeep, while I attempted to activate the void of the Chilean landscape through the camera, without questioning whether I had the right to materialize something outside of my own condition as a subject, thus perpetuating the privilege that sustained me. Ten years later, I revisit and denounce those acts, exploring how language, both visual and verbal, reveals our limitations and the invisible structures of power that shape us.
