The eyes continuously absorb surrounding images, commodities, and collective values, until looking itself becomes a process of being consumed by what is seen. Desire is repeatedly awakened yet can never be fully satisfied, trapping attention in a cycle of attraction, lack, and renewed pursuit.

Oil painting titled *Visual Hunger* (2025) by Cong Chen. A large blue eye sits inside a transparent circular form filled with brightly colored packages and consumer objects, suspended above thin, root-like strands. The surrounding dark urban space is punctuated by glowing rectangular shapes in yellow, orange and blue. The composition explores visual consumption, desire and the continuous cycle of attraction and renewed attention.
