Or is it a hole in the wall with a giant peering through?
It's a trompe l'oeil!

Hey KH
Thanks for the encouraging word. I wanted to explore a surreal vibe in this one.
Hey Z
That's a fine approach to another idea down the line. An eye peering through a piece of art, but it's also part of the depicted art composition. Neat.

I think Party City should sell balloons with eyeballs on them - I'd certainly buy a pair now and then. Or ears. Or boobs.

Nice one. I imagine my imagination as an untethered kite sailing through the air. It pulls me in tow with its tail as my "blindfold."
DOC AL:
"They" make 'em. Don't know who sells 'em, though.

They actually make balloons with eyes on them - they supposedly can be hung in buildings to scare birds from occupying the building. Haven't a clue if they actually work.
John - That's surreal thing.
Looks to me that it's l'oeil sans le trompe!
