Selected paintings from 2025-2026 LIQUID MIRROR series, where Saarinen studied the themes of gazes, eyes and being seen from the perspective of emotional memories. The works dive deep into the humane experiences of visibility and invisibility - the bridges and the meanings we build in our inside worlds from somebodys eyes catching our own. In the series she challenged herself to paint smaller and faster with a limited pallet of color, leading to most of the paintings being small, bold and very energetic.
