Looking Through is a meditation on perception, fragmentation, and the layered complexity of human experience. The piece invites viewers to examine the world through multiple lenses—literal and metaphorical.
The cityscape in the background, partially obscured and distorted, evokes themes of alienation and anonymity in contemporary life. Meanwhile, the surreal inserts—a suspended light bulb, a thimble, a baseball—introduce a sense of play, disorientation, and quiet introspection. These elements contrast the rational structure of the grid, challenging the viewer to consider how order and chaos coexist in our efforts to make sense of the world.
