Siry’s paintings explore the perception of self and the influence that social interactions have on how we construct identity. She draws inspiration from Charles Horton Cooley’s social-psychological concept of the looking-glass self that suggests we shape our self-image based on the understanding of how others perceive us.

“I am not what I think I am, and I am not what you think I am. I am what I think you think I am.” - Charles Horton Cooley, Human Nature and the Social Order
