Blind Faith
2026
Blind Faith is trust in absolute absence. The head tilts upward, open to something unseen, but where eyes should exist, there is only emptiness. Not closed, not veiled, but simply absent. The face surrenders what it has always used to navigate the world.
This is faith stripped of all anchors. Without eyes, there is no distinction between what is real and what is imagined, between evidence and belief. The figure rises toward an invisible presence, guided by nothing but the willingness to trust what cannot be perceived.
The density of the threads intensifies around where sight should be, creating a void that demands acceptance. In this absence lies a paradox, freedom and vulnerability intertwined. To be blind is to be defenseless. Yet in that defenselessness, faith becomes the only possible response.
Blind Faith does not ask for certainty. It asks for surrender to the unknown. It is the courage to move forward without the comfort of seeing, to believe that something exists beyond the reach of vision, that presence does not require proof.
The gaze here is witness to radical trust.
