soft gaze
Warm, unfocused eyes
A soft gaze is a gentle, unfocused way of looking—relaxed rather than intent or scrutinizing.
The term appears in meditation and mindfulness contexts, where practitioners are instructed to let their eyes rest without fixating: Maintain a soft gaze on the floor a few feet ahead.
In photography and art direction, a soft gaze describes a subject's dreamy, receptive expression rather than a sharp or confrontational look.
