The integrity of what we encounter depends largely on the integrity of our approach towards understanding it. It is the quality of looking that determines what we see. What it means to be truly human is found in a space beyond the surface of our own immediate perception- somewhere between experience and response, intention and interpretation.
I accept my inability to not only understand others fully but myself as well. There is a disconnect between who we truly are, how we present ourselves, and how we are perceived— these works were painted as I considered how we might reconcile those gaps in more constructive ways. Empathetic curiosity is brave. Perhaps we push aside our own fears and risk knowing one another.
