No, they are not human eyes. They’re not stars either

They look like exploding stars or detailed photographs of the human iris. In fact, it’s the artwork of a photographer who was inspired by the puddles of water on the road when oil falls on them.

This series of images is part of a project called oil spill (oil spill) in which the Swiss artist Fabian Oefner explore iridescence. To achieve these designs, Oefner poured water into a black container and then, with the help of a syringe, placed drops of oil on the surface of the water. When it comes in contact with water, the oil begins to expand and form unique configurations that you capture with your camera.
