Quotes from way of Seeing (Lina)

 "To be naked is to be oneself. To be nude is to be seen naked by others and yet not recognised for oneself."

This Quote incisively captures how visual representation often strips away the self in favor of a constrained gaze. It makes me question, truly, how much of our identity is shaped by how we are seen and dictates that the "view" is never neutral.


"We never look just at one thing; we are always looking at the relationship between things and ourselves" 

This Quote is a powerful reminder that interpretation is always subjective. In art and life, meaning is energized by context and self-awareness. We are being our own filters in every movement of seeing.
