Artist Statement
It seems obvious that we all see things differently. Yet we constantly forget and act as if there is only one true way to see. No two people will see anything exact, same way. Everything from our inherited biology to our learned biases influenced the way we take in the world. Not only do we as individuals observe, notice and gather information differently, we also perceive what we’ve gathered differently. Each person brings along his or her own unique experience, history, education, background and viewpoint.
To see what’s there that others don’t.
To see what’s not there that should be.
To see what we want to see.
To see what we’re told to see.
