'Killer Eyes' is a two-channel video installation that explores the failures of communication through an upfront observation of facial responses and sound. It dives into the breakdown of communication between two individuals and how such causes cycles of involuntary accusations. One's breath, which not only helps with language, is also now additionally used to understand the breaks between thoughts. It stays unnoticed until it becomes drained, where we realise that it reveals stress.
