I Know You

The painting I Know You features a little girl on a swing, accompanied by an older woman who looks like an older version of her. The younger girl is blissful, completely caught up in the joy of the moment, while the older seems to be in contemplation. Being with this little girl, she seems to recognize a younger version of herself. Was she just like this girl twenty years ago? Through the two figures, I wanted to explore the passage of time and the strange feeling of recognizing ourselves in who we once were.
