To Be Seen explores the courage it takes to be truly seen. Each figure stands exposed—heart in hand, gaze wide open—caught in the tension between wanting connection and fearing the cost of it. Using fragments of song lyrics to say the truths we’d rather never say out loud.
It’s about the risk of intimacy, the beauty of taking your mask off, and the vulnerability of letting someone look all the way in.
Each piece is a hand-cut collage made from found imagery—sourced from independent fashion magazines, vintage advertisements, and overlooked corners of stock photo archives. Like the emotions they reflect, these works are stitched from contradiction: bold and tender, anonymous and deeply personal.
"Give me a heart without the teeth. Give me the glimmers in between. Give me the happiness of hope. Give me a knot without a rope. Give me the loveliness I need. Give me the me inside of me." Lyrics from the song Everything Is Everything by The Ballroom Thieves
