Description
Open, Even When It Hurts explores the tension between vulnerability and awareness, examining the experience of seeing and being seen. The hyper-realistic eye emerges from expressive, abstract layers that evoke bruising, softness, and emotional residue.
The work reflects the choice to remain open and perceptive despite the discomfort that can come with heightened awareness. Distorted textures surrounding the eye suggest memory, sensitivity, and the emotional weight of seeing deeply.
The painting invites the viewer into an intimate moment of exposure, where perception becomes both a gift and a burden.
