Original artwork description:

'SEEK' draws on Stephenson's experiences in Mexico, portraying a woman submerged among cacti, as if searching or concealing herself. The title evokes the duality of hide-and-seek—camouflage from the viewer or an unknown presence. A red, heavy sky tints the cacti’s edges, radiating the sensation of "prickly heat" in a vivid interplay of imagery and wordplay.

Materials used:

Oil paint on canvas
