Voyeurism is based on curiosity and a feeling of belonging. Those two are the basic instincts that a human being has to survive. People have been looking for new sources of food and shelter as long as they exist. Men herd all the time for better security. When you are peeping onto someone, you are succumbing to you curiosity. And when you see something that you should not, you feel belong to a group that knows the secret.

A Shape that Stands Up and Listens #2, 2012 

Fear. You jump from every slight shadow ( a grey background figure in the middle). The fear makes you imagine things much more powerful and a lot frightful than they really are (a black silhouette at the right part of the painting). The fear shackles you (the grey figure from lower left corner to right middle). The fear leads you to a wrong direction, thus making the most damage to you.
