"The Captive Body..." - Paintings look at us

Paintings are created by human hands, but individual artists do not produce them entirely on their own. 
Not only do they use materials such as paints, canvases, and paper developed and manufactured by others, but also without stimuli from the external world, both visual and auditory, there would be no inspiration for imagery, and without gravity or air, one couldn't even hold a brush. 

This means that the artwork itself, even though it may appear in this world as a result of my creative intentions or techniques, is a significantly autonomous and independent entity, having encompassing relationships with the vast external world beyond myself. 

This work is created by dripping acrylic paint (ie. Fluid Technique), which not many artists in Japan have yet practiced. 
By pouring white, black, and silver paints onto a surface previously covered in black paint, image is formed, and upon it, eyes borrowed from the paintings of Lucas Cranach (15th century, Germany) are collaged with transparent film. 

If artworks are considered autonomous beings, then when you look at a painting, it might actually be looking back at you.

However, whether you find this intriguing or not is entirely up to you.
