"Failed to See" is a surreal exploration of what happens when vision—both literal and metaphorical—breaks. The shattered glasses symbolize fragile perception, while the eyes slipping away represent lost truths, ignored realities, or the parts of ourselves we often refuse to face.
The work plays with irony: glasses are supposed to help us see better, yet here they betray their purpose. Instead of clarity, they deliver disintegration—reminding us that sometimes the hardest things to see are not outside of us, but within.

Fun fact? This painting was inspired by the thought: “What if denial had a physical form?” The broken lenses became the perfect metaphor for selective vision—how we all sometimes choose blindness when the truth feels too sharp.
It’s bold, unsettling, yet oddly relatable—a statement piece for collectors who love art that questions perception and sparks conversation.
