The work “Encounter” shows a larger than life projection of a Bengal Eagle Owl. The bird is sitting on a tree trunk with its back turned towards the viewer. The feathers on its back are a camouflaged version of a face. In time, the owl turns to the viewer and observes the space with its bright orange eyes. It is a game of watching and being watched. The owl seems like a guard who explores its new environment and confronts the viewer with its penetrating gaze. The title; “Encounter” refers to an encounter with another being. This encounter transcends the purely intellectual and is above all a poetic encounter.
