Odd Eyes visually represents the phenomenon of moth mimicry by reimagining their ocellus markings through the eyes of a predator.
Unlike with human-made works, there is no consciousness dictating aesthetic outcomes within the natural world. Instead patterns found throughout nature arise organically through the mechanism of evolution via natural selection. And these patterns serve the sole purpose of enhancing the species' ability to survive and reproduce.
Moths evolved these eyespots as a defence mechanism. A way to disguise themselves by mimicking the eyes of more threatening animals found elsewhere in their ecosystem. Where a millisecond of deception might be all that’s needed for a moth to make a quick getaway and escape the jaws of a hungry predator.
