As Roland Barthes suggests in Camera Lucida, the photograph is not intended as a solid representation of what was, or what has ceased to be. It serves as a reminder of the world’s ever shifting state of being. The Eyes of Hiketa is an anthology of everyday people, and is intended as a homage to the inhabitants of Hiketa vis-a-vis the intensity of their stare.
