Drawing inspiration from John Berger’s Ways of Seeing, which asserts that “we only see what we look at” and that “we never look at just one thing; we are always looking at the relation between things and ourselves,” Bridget Z. Sullivan delves into the intricate connections between the gaps in our perception and how we experience the world around us. Her work encourages viewers to consider the act of seeing not as a passive or isolated event but as an active, relational process. It invites contemplation on how seemingly small spaces, subtle details, and their interactions can hold profound significance and shape our understanding.

In this exploration, Sullivan underscores the natural world as a profound source of inspiration and connection. The natural environment is not only within our reach but also serves as a wellspring for creativity, physical health, and spiritual nourishment. It bridges the material and immaterial, fostering a deeper sense of belonging and interconnection. Through her work, she invites us to perceive the world around us as a dynamic interplay of relationships—between ourselves, our surroundings, and the spaces in between—emphasizing the importance of these connections in shaping our experiences and understanding of life.
