spying eyes


You think this is a lotus flower, turned into a seed?

Of course you are correct. At the same time, this picture is a mirror of Asian Society.

When you look closely to the seed, you see many eyes, looking in all directions. This is exactly what I feel when I'm in Asia. So many eyes looking at you, checking you, controlling you. Not in your face, but when you think that you're not observed. Very interesting.

Asians normally don't eyeball. Unless they feel that they are levelled, they won't look you into the eye. That's a major challenge for me as a (would-be-)photographer, to catch the persons when they think I'm not looking at them. Otherwise they would shy away.

This lotus seed represents all the spying eyes that are constantly on the watch here. Very funny picture :-)
