You Should have Looked Harder explores the quiet frustration of being overlooked, misunderstood, or never fully seen. The title carries both accusation and vulnerability—a reminder that sometimes what we fail to recognize in another person is precisely what matters most.
Through fragmented female figures, vintage imagery, handwritten text, and overlapping fields of pink and black, the work examines the distance between looking at someone and truly understanding them. The juxtaposition of intimate gestures and watchful eyes creates a tension between visibility and emotional absence.
The composition suggests the pieces of ourselves we reveal, conceal, and hope someone will take the time to discover. Beneath its playful visual language lies a more pointed question: How much do we miss when we only see what we expect to find?
Created through layers of collage, acrylic, and resin, the work combines nostalgic imagery with contemporary reflections on identity, longing, and the desire to be understood.
