In ICU as You See Me (2025), interdisciplinary artist Haiiileen channels the Third Eye Chakra through a fusion of mirror, pigment, and light. This one-of-a-kind piece reflects the balance between what is seen and what is felt — an energetic dialogue between truth and perception. Part of her Chakra Series, the work expands on Haiiileen’s exploration of synesthetic energy, color alchemy, and emotional frequency through reflective geometry and spiritual design.

Description
ICU as You See Me is part of Haiiileen’s ongoing Chakra Series, a body of work that explores energy centers as portals of perception and emotional resonance.
This particular piece channels the Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) — the realm of intuition, clarity, and truth. Composed of hand-cut mirrored glass layered with chemical pigments and sealed in archival UV resin, the artwork reflects and refracts its surroundings, creating a dialogue between inner and outer vision.
Through its prismatic geometry and deep violet tones, ICU as You See Me meditates on the act of seeing and being seen — a balance between perception and projection, feeling and reflection.
“Two eyes reflecting one vision — the harmony between what is seen and what is felt.”
