Model: Hee Eun Jeong

This work is part of The Tracy Piper's "SEEN Volume 3" the fourth iteration of a collaborative art project of 50 eye paintings that were made during the Spring of 2024. 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 fifth book aptly titled "SEEN Volume 3".

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FEEL SEEN?

"I moved around a lot in my life. Had to conform, fit in. It helped me because people liked me but I could never really be who I was. It wasn’t until later in life that it really began to impact me. So scared to do the wrong thing, to make the wrong move. I didn’t know who I was. I didn’t know how to be myself… I was unhappy. I started on a journey of self love and self acceptance. I learned that you have to be yourself and that is your purpose in this world. I hope that those out there struggling with self love come to this realization too. That it’s okay to be SEEN, it’s what you are meant to do."—Hee Eun Jeong

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.
