“I SEE BEAUTY” MIXED MEDIA NEON SCULPTURE

“I SEE BEAUTY” is part of Indira Cesarine’s ongoing “Manifest” series, a body of neon mixed-media works that transform words and affirmations into illuminated declarations. Through the series, language becomes both artwork and intention—a catalyst for reframing perception and shaping experience.

In this work, hand-bent pink glass neon spelling the phrase “beauty” is layered over “Dreaming,” a luminous floral medium-format photograph by the artist. The soft-focus blooms create an ethereal landscape of color and light, while the glowing text serves as both statement and invitation. Together, image and language explore the transformative power of perspective: the idea that beauty is not merely something we encounter, but something we choose to recognize.

Flowers have long symbolized growth, renewal, and impermanence. Suspended beneath the neon’s radiant glow, they become a meditation on presence and appreciation—an affirmation that beauty exists not only in extraordinary moments, but also within the everyday. The work suggests that what we seek in the world is often shaped by what we are willing to see.

As part of the “Manifest” series, “I SEE BEAUTY” reflects Cesarine’s ongoing exploration of empowerment, consciousness, and transformation through language. Premiered in the exhibition “IN FULL BLOOM” at The Untitled Space in May 2026, the artwork celebrates the act of finding wonder, possibility, and hope amid life’s constant unfolding.
