Model: Mike

This work is part of The Tracy Piper's "SEEN Volume 4," the fourth iteration of a collaborative art project of 50 eye paintings that were made during the Spring of 2025. For this series, the artist organized an open call for her collectors, fans, and fellow artists to be featured as one of her models. Each participant answered the same question: What does it mean to feel seen? Each painting and response is featured in the artist’s fifth book aptly titled “SEEN Volume 4."

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FEEL SEEN?

"To be told that someone sees me means that I matter. I’m not a singular being aimlessly floating through space and time. Being seen means being recognized and having one's contributions appreciated and respected. When someone sees me, they acknowledge me; they validate me. Seeing me for who I am and realizing I exist does, for a moment, reduce my never-ending sense of loneliness."—Mike
