I often find myself peeking into other worlds. I was unaware of this habit until I began to reflect on it. The experience of unconscious peeking in my life opened me to a deeper consideration of my motivation and the motivation of others. From the perspective of a ‘peeker’, I regard my actions as small, private desires to look closely when I am attracted by something. I believe our unconscious can choose our inner desires for us. Peeking or looking in a voyeuristic manner is more often regarded as a negative behaviour – an invasion of privacy. In this collection, I re-examine and explore this behaviour from a more nuanced perspective. It is my aim to highlight the nature of this action through mirrored objects, their reflected external context and the reciprocal relationship of seeing and being seen.
