All Seeing explores the quiet exchange between perception and presence. Rooted in moments of heightened awareness within the natural world, the work reflects a state in which observation becomes reciprocal — the sense that the land, the sky, and the unseen forces within them are not only witnessed, but witnessing in return.
The piece combines traditional pyrography with layered paint on maple, allowing flame, pigment, and wood grain to interact as equal collaborators. Burning into the surface establishes permanence and restraint, while color introduces fluidity and breath. Together, these processes mirror the balance between structure and intuition that underlies both nature and human perception.
The eye motif functions as a symbol of expanded awareness rather than surveillance — a reminder of attentiveness, intuition, and the deeper act of seeing beyond surface form. Embedded within organic shapes and natural rhythms, the eyes dissolve into the composition, suggesting that awareness is not separate from the environment but inherent within it.
All Seeing invites the viewer into a contemplative space, encouraging slowed observation and an openness to subtle connections. The work asks not only what we see, but how we see — and what becomes visible when we allow ourselves to be fully present.
