In Arabic, Ain means “eye,” but its resonance extends beyond anatomy. Within Arab culture, the eye becomes a talisman. It serves as a silent guardian against harm. It acts as a shield that wards off envy and malevolent forces. This artwork draws on that layered significance, transforming a simple form into a vessel of protection and presence.
Bonfelle enjoys observing these cultural echoes, translating them into visual narratives that uncover the emotional textures beneath the surface.
