ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Eye of Horus in its provocative close-up realism presents the rendition of an eye, as physiognomic feature of an animal. It focuses on how emotionally charged the gaze is, on the opalescent play of the grayscale of the eye and the textures of the inky fur. It alludes to the symbolism of the eye as an allegorical organ of insight, the search for wisdom and the reflection of the soul. appears The understanding of the eye as a form of a protection amulet can be tracked back to the ancient hieroglyphs. This image encapsulates the all-seeing eye of Horus, embodied in Anubis as the guardian of the afterlife.

AUTHOR
Milton Sosa is a photographer, video maker and graphic designer from Havana, Cuba. It’s the people and their unique experiences that are the island’s greatest asset and his work is a direct reflection of that. He loves to share how he sees the world through the pictures he takes, inspired by pretty much any and all facets of this beautiful life, grand and bold, through unpretentious and dainty. He is relatively freshly based in California in the Bay Area. Currently he is devoted to doing photography and music videos.

“Milton Sosa's creative discourse, heterogeneous in its language/expressive ways, bets on contrasting colors, attention to detail, compositional richness and a deeply exquisite technique. In his style, he mingles in synchronous dialogue between photography and video forms. The images advocate for symmetry, refined beauty of forms, unique framing and contrasts between lights and shadows. Milton Sosa’s work, conceptually permeated by contemporary codes, has the ability and power to trigger truly delectable encounters with art.”
