I Saw That Coming explores humanity’s complicated relationship with the future, our desire to predict it, control it, and protect ourselves from what has not yet happened. The fortune teller becomes a symbolic figure of our inner voice: watchful, intuitive, and quietly burdened by anticipation.
In a world driven by uncertainty, we often live suspended between hope and fear, projecting ourselves into tomorrow while unintentionally abandoning the present moment. The crystal ball represents this tension, a seductive promise of knowledge that can distance us from the life unfolding right in front of us.
This piece reflects the paradox of modern existence: the more we try to foresee what lies ahead, the less we experience what already is. It invites the viewer to question whether knowing the future would truly bring comfort, or whether peace can only be found by embracing the now.
Through bold symbolism and feminine strength, the artwork encourages a return to presence, a reminder that life is not waiting in prediction, but happening in the moment we often overlook.
