Fatherly Gaze (2020) aims to represent the long-term fear and insecurity that I feel in my family due to my father's strong desire to control my mother and me. Several experiences caused this fear and insecurity: his requirement of installing surveillance cameras in the living room, his constant attention on the surveillance monitor, and he peeped at my mother's shower when I was a kid. Since a family portrait is a habituated visual representation of a family, its adaption alludes to the photographed figures’ relationship. A repeating gesture is employed: my father stares at my mother and me consistently while we are trying to avoid his gaze. This pattern emphasizes my father's persistent gaze on us. The elements of date and time help to convey the gaze as a never-ending threat as well. The flow of time is also portrayed when my and my mother's posture and expression are gradually delivering a stronger and stronger characteristic as time passed by. To make his gaze more dominated and powerful in the composition, the concept of male gaze is applied: in a sexual imbalance world, "pleasure in looking has been split between active/male and passive/female (Mulvey 83s7)." In the visual arts and literature, women are simultaneously looked at and displayed, connoting to-be looked-at-ness. The project is installed to resemble a night-time window structure where dim light is shown through its back. It provides the feeling of window peeping for the audience.
