“To Be Understood” is a mixed media artwork featuring a sheer fabric painted with acrylics, oil, soft pastels, and pencils, hand-stretched on wooden bars, with a unique backprint on paper attached, integrating transparency and material interaction. This artwork delves into the reservoir of memories, emotions, desires, and experiences stored in our subconscious, while also reflecting the universal desire to find understanding, through an intimate act of discovery. We all seem to crave someone who can truly see and understand us, while we all try to decipher ourselves. Inspired by Freud’s theory that our encounters are rooted in the subconscious, the artwork explores the profound connections we feel with others who resonate with our subconscious makeup. Through see-through screen paintings, the piece captures this subconscious resonance, with fabrics mirroring unique prints on paper, creating a new perception that reflects recognition and exploration of the psyche.
