unseen Painting

"I Don't See You" The exhibition "I Don't See You" delves into the intricate layers of human connection and disconnection, exploring themes of perception, identity, and the unseen forces that shape our relationships. Through a diverse array of artworks, Anita Goel highlights the complexities of familial bonds, particularly between different generations and the often-unspoken expectations that accompany these relationships. The pieces invite viewers to reflect on how personal perspectives can create barriers to understanding, emphasizing the notion that seeing is not merely a physical act but a choice influenced by emotional and social contexts. We constantly update our social media status and check messages but fail to connect with those present with us. The metaphor of the spotlight serves as a central theme, illustrating how individuals can exist in the periphery while others occupy the center stage. It also emphasises how individuals can be isolated in their experiences, while the surrounding context remains unseen. This dynamic is poignantly captured in the artwork that depict gestures of greeting and farewell, suggesting that meaningful connections often extend beyond the visible frame. The pieces also delve into the nuances of mother-daughter relationships, highlighting the generational gaps in understanding and perspective. This is mirrored in the portrayal of gossip among women, where the act of not seeing the broader implications of their words underscores a deeper disconnect within relationships. As viewers engage with the artworks, they are encouraged to consider their own experiences of visibility and invisibility, prompting a deeper understanding of the unseen narratives that shape our lives. "I Don't See You" ultimately serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy and awareness in fostering genuine connections amidst the complexities of human interaction.
