What We Conceal

$325.00

About the Artwork

A heavy field of white covers a face, leaving only one eye exposed. The white represents the persona we build to feel accepted and safe. Beneath it, the parts we conceal remain present.

What we suppress doesn't disappear. The exposed eye and uneven edges suggest that concealment is rarely complete. What protects us can also keep us from being fully seen.

Recognizing ourselves begins with looking beneath what we have learned to show.

Artwork Type: Original, one-of-a-kind painting
