Looking, but can’t see

Everyone hears, but doesn't listen,

Everyone looks but can't see,

They're eyes touch the surface but don't go any deeper,

You don't just want to be comforted, you want to be understood.

When people see my art, I want them to feel listened to, seen, validated and more than anything, understood. I want them to feel a crashing down of emotions and discover things about themselves they didn't know. I want them to feel as broken as they are, because there's no going forward ignoring the past.
