ABOUT THE WORK

This work is part of The Tracy Piper's "SEEN," a collaborative art project of 50 eye paintings that were made during the month of October. 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 second book aptly titled “SEEN”.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FEEL SEEN?

"Feeling seen is the most stunning peace you can get.  It's sitting next to a friend as they squeeze your hand under a table while you receive bad news; it's being given the benefit of the doubt that you are good, even when you aren't your best self; it's acknowledging the people you interact with throughout the day, maybe even asking them how they are. 

I think it comes with a sense of generosity—that someone could see me as the sum of my parts, not the individual parts, is a gift they are giving me.  We are all a bit messy at times, which is a very human thing, but the people that see us end up being the ones that hold space for all that we are.  Who can see us as the forest, not the trees."—Kate Campbell
