CONSCIOUS LOOKING

“Oh Great, This Too” captures the moment when everything threatens to spill over. A small thing, seemingly insignificant – yet in the wrong moment, it hits right at the core. Between overwhelm and quiet defiance lies a truth many know, but few admit.

Such silent struggles often remain unseen for others – because no one looks closely. “Oh Great, This Too” reminds us how vital it is to look beyond the surface. Conscious perception means seeing what’s not said, feeling what’s not shown – and making space for real empathy.

In her series "I see you" Steinacher explores the profound power of conscious looking - not just with the eyes, but with the whole presence of being - as an act of perception, responsibility and connection. To see is not a neutral act. It is a choice against indifference. Those who see acknowledge the existence of others, lift them out of invisibility and give them meaning.

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY

"I see you" makes it clear that "seeing" is the origin of knowledge and change. Only that which is seen can unfold. Only what is seen can have an effect. Seeing is the first impulse for transformation - the beginning of
understanding, awareness and the creation of a better future.
