In Empath, Sasha Gordon presents a vulnerable self-portrait that confronts the emotional dichotomy of being seen and unseen. A solitary nude figure set against a dreamlike, almost eerie backdrop, meets the viewer’s gaze with quiet intensity. The work invites reflection: is the empath the figure depicted, or the viewer drawn in by her gaze? This painting is at once intimate and disarming. Drawing from her experience as an Asian American woman growing up in a predominantly white town, Gordon conveys strong feelings of isolation and emotional permeability.
