The piece utilizes the materiality of lenticular printing to express this duality. Viewed from one angle, only the brief response—“Okay”—is visible; from another, the multitude of unsaid words emerge, overlapping and layered. This optical shift mirrors the emotional tension between outward composure and inner turbulence.
