In my works, I aim to explain the tension between power and subject through the concepts of uncanny and surveillance. Power asserts its dominance over the subject by making them a part of the system. The system spies on the target, sets boundaries and targets them. It creates a circle of transparency and makes them believe that they are free. Circle itself here depicts a vicious circle. In time, the individual finds themselves to be a natural part of it. The circle of transparency transforms. It alienates. It blunts the fields of subjectivity at the production stage. It dreads subjectivity, creativity and freedom.
