DESCRIPTION:
Eyes of Tampa is an experimental video that explores Tampa through a visual series of photographs and symbolic imagery, centered on the ideas of observation and perspective. The project uses close-up images of eyes combined with photographs of Tampa’s urban environment to create visual similes that connect human perception with the spaces people move through every day. By layering still images and video, the film emphasizes how individuals experience the city differently from different points of view. The project focuses on mood, visual rhythm, and symbolic associations, encouraging viewers to reflect on how the city is seen through many different “eyes.”
