In Optometry, a girl goes to an optical shop for a pair of glasses. As the eye doctor calibrates the optometry machine to investigate the faults and fractures in her eyes, she is transported to a new world, a place full of overlapping images, dots, curves, houses, and light reflections. The girl must navigate through the various unique planes within optometry world, confronting endless labyrinths, exploding worlds, and multiple versions of herself to find her way back to reality before she becomes lost forever in a daze. Artist Xiang Yata takes you on a journey showing how our thought patterns branch out through multiple art forms, including sketching, photography, and graphic design to investigate the myriad ways we perceive ourselves.
Review Quotes
"With a remarkable depth of style, Xiang Yata collapses the distinction between the observer and the observed, creating an imaginative world of infinite possibility. Optometry is a celebration of visual storytelling, reminding the reader that when you lose your form all possible forms reveal themselves."
