"As I drift away deep into the night, we meet again."

I felt the need to capture the notion of everlasting but sometimes quite unusual free spirited vibe of 60's. I referenced Alphonse Mucha's method of glorifying the female figure. However, in order to capture the overly liberating culture of the 60's the female figure bares no clothes, which leaves her entirely vulnerable. Her gaze is directed back in the direction of the viewer but is unable to see us. The same way she is aware of the view which enables her to see the world around her is the same view which creates a defenseless opening to her own self in which she is consequently judged by her own surrounding, in this case us | Jacques Lacan. In this interplay of perception I wanted to create a piece like this to help us understand just how strange it would feel to be overly liberated in a manner that leaves us all defenseless.

To better understand the power of gaze as defined by Jacques Lacan, the French psychoanalyst, psychiatrist & philosopher, you can read my blog article on | The Psychoanalysis of the Gaze.
