In Seeing Through, Xiao Wang masterfully intertwines the elements of still life, portraiture, and surrealism to create a painting that is much more than a moment captured in time. It is an exploration of perception, a meditation on the passage of time, and an invitation into a space where reality and illusion collapse. The blue tones, the symbolism of the objects, the abstraction of intimacy, and the final reveal of the mirror all serve to push the boundaries of what a painting can represent. As viewers, we are not just observing the scene—we are part of it, drawn into its liminal space, caught between what is visible and what is hidden.
