In Even I Could See, Jennifer Seas engages with the tension between visibility and concealment, voice and silence, witnessing and erasure. The hand-drawn phrase “EVEN EYE,” layered under a thin, translucent sheet of handmade paper laminated to the wood panel, offers a poetic meditation on the fragility of perception and the complexity of language.

The title, Even I Could See, evokes a quiet protest—an intimate act of bearing witness to oppression, injustice, or hidden truths that are often ignored until it is too late. It recalls the dual meaning of “even I” as an unexpected participant and “evil eye” as a protective talisman, suggesting both vulnerability and agency.

The physical veil created by the handmade paper mirrors the social and linguistic veils that obscure meaning and mute voices, while the bold oil stick lettering asserts presence and resistance beneath. Seas invites the viewer into a contemplative space where to “see” is both an act of understanding and a political gesture.
