The Watched Self

The Watched Self captures the claustrophobic, surrealist nature of living in a world where surveillance has become the norm. This art piece is part of a broader project entitled, “The Two-Edged Power of Community-Based Surveillance: How the Culture of “Maccoing” and Gossip Can Act as a Deterrent for Devious Behaviour while Perpetuating Paranoia," which examined the physical and technological forms of surveillance within the Caribbean context.
