The Psychology and Philosophy Behind Blinking

Blinking captures the subtle rhythms of human perception. Rather than a constant stream, our attention flickers, moments of focus interrupted by gaps. This mural mirrors that pattern, appearing, disappearing, and re-emerging in layers that invite viewers to experience the space between presence and absence.
Within this threshold, the mind reconstructs meaning and reshapes identity, offering a moment of reflection and renewed perception.

Painting as Process: A Stop Motion Animation

Instead of a single finished image, Skount repeatedly repainted the eyes with small variations. Each stage was documented in photographs, producing a frame-by-frame stop motion sequence.
Every layer subtly persisted beneath the next, like traces of memory or thought. The result is a mural that evolves continuously, echoing the non-linear flow of human experience, composed of loops, transitions, and returns.

Stop Motion + Muralism

With Blinking, Skount combines traditional mural painting with stop motion techniques, transforming the wall into a dynamic visual loop.
The mural evolves over time, reflecting how ideas are revisited, perspectives shift, and narratives are constantly reconstructed. It is not a static artwork, but a cycle of perception and transformation.
