Through Your Eyes, Through Mine

2025 

Eyes don’t lie. But sometimes, neither do the questions behind them.

“Through Your Eyes, Through Mine” is a digital diptych that examines the intricacies of the gaze. Exploring how perception, love, affection and identity are formed by those who look at us. Altogether, these two pieces highlight two sides of perception: how we study others and how we wonder what they are studying within us.



    

Title: I like you/I love you (Look At Me)

Date: 2025

Medium: Digital Image printed on Mulberry on Wood Panel

Size: 12x12 inches


“I like you/I love you (Look At Me)” is an artwork layered with pairs of eyes of parents, friends, dogs, and an unspoken crush. The red palette captures the heat of emotions and revolves around the hidden phrases within this piece, such as “I like you” and “I love you”. This reflects the ways affection can be conveyed depending on who receives it.  The gaze within this piece is held in a place that can be seen as intense, evocative, and almost a confessional act.






Title: Number 1#

Date: 2025

Medium: Digital Image printed on Mulberry on Wood Panel

Size: 8x10 inches


“Number 1#” focuses on the concept of self-perception, questioning how the “self” can be built up through outward perception. The phrase, “Number 1#  girl in your eyes”, highlights the uncertainty and wariness immersed in being viewed and judged by others. The cool palette of blues and magentas create an area of questioning worth, allure, and the blurred boundaries between confidence and self-doubt. This piece invites and asks viewers to think about these blurred boundaries between confidence and self-doubt and what it means to be chosen, percieved, and/or desired.
