Tomaten auf den Augen takes its name from a German idiom – "to have tomatoes on your eyes" – used when someone fails to see what's right in front of them.

But what if the blindness is the point? Each image in this series replaces the eyes with a fruit or vegetable, each one a different lens, a different filter on reality. The monochromatic worlds surrounding the subject ask a quiet question: when everything around you matches what's covering your eyes, how would you even know what you're missing?

A meditation on selective perception, wilful blindness, and the quiet absurdity of being human.

What you cover your eyes with says more than what you let them see.
