What sets her work apart is the striking intimacy created through the gaze of her subjects. The women in Panas's work look
directly at dialogue as if engaging in a conversation without words. This choice imparts a sense of agency to the subjects, transforming
them from mere objects of observation into active participants in the artistic exchange. In this direct engagement, there’s an almost introspective
quality—a sense that these women are not merely being observed but are, in fact, engaging with the artist herself. The eye contact suggests
a mutual recognition, almost as if they are looking into a mirror, sharing a profound reflection on identity, femininity, and the complexities
of the human experience. Through this intentional and reciprocal gaze, Panas elevates her work beyond a mere visual representation,
turning it into a dynamic and personal exploration of the interconnectedness between artist and subject.
