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?
"
I find myself thinking often about what it means to be truly seen, especially since my dad passed away. It’s a privilege to have someone who recognizes all the parts of you — the path you’ve walked, the ways you’ve grown, and the quirks and imperfections that make you who you are. To be seen is to be recognized and accepted in your entirety, without needing to hide or explain. In a world that so often judges or overlooks, being seen really matters." — Rachel Koz
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.
