The Seasons depicts a room with a slowly evolving sculptural figure that transforms over time. In this animated loop, visual, temporal, and conceptual cycles overlap and offset each other, creating a sense of static flux. A seated woman in erotic abandon rotates clockwise on a pedestal while decomposing, surrounded by blooming and fading roses. The room rotates counterclockwise, and the animation camera pans back and forth, both movements subtly counterpointing each other. The piece features a white-on-white color scheme, with the sound of crumbling paper enhancing the atmosphere.
