For collectors, this piece sits at the intersection of psychology and emotion—an exploration of what it means to truly *see* and be seen.
The inspiration came from the idea that we are never just one version of ourselves. As a psychologist, I am constantly aware of the layers people carry—what is presented, what is protected, and what quietly sits beneath the surface. The eye became the focal point because it is both revealing and guarded. It connects, observes, and understands, yet it can also conceal just as much as it shows. Around it, the face dissolves into movement and colour—reflecting the emotional complexity, contradictions, and shifts that make up human experience.
The bold palette was intentional. The reds speak to intensity and vulnerability, the turquoise to clarity and calm, and the bursts of yellow to moments of insight and energy. Rather than blending smoothly, the colours interrupt and overlap—mirroring how life rarely feels linear or resolved.
In a space, this work becomes a presence. It doesn’t sit quietly in the background—it engages. The eye draws people in, creating an immediate point of connection, while the abstraction allows each viewer to find their own meaning. It can lift a room by adding depth and energy—bringing warmth through colour, but also a sense of intrigue and conversation. It works particularly well in modern interiors, entryways, or spaces designed for reflection or connection, where art is not just decorative, but experiential.
Ultimately, this piece is about awareness—of self, of others, and of the unseen layers that shape us. It invites pause, curiosity, and perhaps a moment of recognition.
