Model: Marti tu

This work is part of The Tracy Piper's "SEEN Volume 5" the fifth 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 sixth book aptly titled "SEEN Volume 5".

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FEEL SEEN?

"It means having a power that not everyone has. It means being able to feel, to see the full range of colors that exist around the world, to appreciate what you are living, to feel nostalgia for all the memories you may have. It means feeling free. It means being yourself, because only what you see is seen through your own eyes. Each person sees things from different perspectives and in different ways. It means being grateful for life, for being human, and for being able to appreciate every day what your eyes can see." — Marti tu

HANGING & CARE

Artwork is ready to hang on the wall; hanging wire is secured on the back (nail and hook needed). Dust raw canvas with a clean, soft brush and HEPA-filtered vacuum to clean. Using a new, clean brush prevents transfer of grime from previous dustings.
