‘You never looked at me from the place from which I see you’ is a sentence spoken by the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan during one of his seminars when he talked about the theme of ‘love’. Lacan believed that love can never truly be fulfilled: between the loving subject and the object of love, there is always a profound and inevitable misalignment — a missed encounter destined to occur. It is precisely because of this unbridgeable gap that the subject falls again and again into the endless pursuit of fantasy.

In addition, the charming neon lights in the work reflect another layer of meaning implied by this sentence, the voracious nature of vision: the gazing eye can never be truly satisfied.
