"Seeing and Being Seen is a meditation on presence, perception, and the quiet truths that live at the edges of visibility. Through deeply observational oil paintings, artist Daniela Kovačić renders the lives of persons with disabilities and their caregivers not as symbols or abstractions, but as real, embodied lives — full of love, struggle, and grace." Tina Mari Rucker.
