In Architectural Gaze, Pepetto employs a mixed media collage approach to explore the intersection of physical appearance and structural design. The work centers on a figure whose features are interrupted and enhanced by gothic architecture elements, suggesting a soul built from the very stone and gold of classical civilizations. Gold leaf decor adds a tactile richness, catching the light against a vintage backdrop that evokes the gravitas of Hellenistic influence on Roman art.

The composition challenges traditional portraiture through pop surrealism, using fragmented facial features to suggest a power unlock within the subject. By blending the aura of Greek mythology deities with the intellectual weight of American poets and philosophers, Pepetto creates a supernatural presence that feels grounded in a deep connection of souls. The squared orientation focuses the viewer's eye on the intricate interplay between the human gaze and the rigid, ornate frames of the past.
