If You See Me, I See You explores the relationship between perception, identity, and self-awareness. Across the series, eyes, gazes, and charged interactions between figures become recurring devices through which questions of looking and being looked at unfold. The works consider what it means to exist as both a subject who perceives the world and an object perceived by others, and by oneself.

The paintings emerge from personal experiences, anxieties, desires, and observations, yet they resist fixed narratives. Instead, they operate through suggestion, allowing meaning to remain unstable and open to projection. Figures appear caught in moments of tension, vulnerability, confrontation, curiosity, or wonder. Their relationships are often ambiguous, reflecting the shifting ways in which we construct ourselves through our interactions with others.

At the center of the series is the idea that perception is never neutral. Every act of looking is shaped by memory, emotion, experience, and bias. In this sense, the paintings function less as illustrations of specific stories and more as psychological spaces in which viewers encounter their own associations. What appears threatening to one person may appear comforting to another; what seems familiar to some may remain entirely opaque to others.

The title refers to this reciprocal dynamic. To look at the work is also to become implicated in it. The viewer's interpretations, assumptions, and emotional responses become part of the piece itself. Meaning is not delivered by the image alone but produced in the encounter between painting and spectator.
