Find and Seek presents a compelling assembly of aged industrial remnants, arranged to evoke the feeling of unearthed artifacts on display. The composition is divided into three distinct sections, each revealing a unique interplay between decay and structure. A small, rusted circular object rests embedded within textured linear grooves, suggesting quiet wear and passage of time. At the center, a battered aerosol can, corroded and marked by sharp indentations, is held firmly in place by slender twigs, underscoring the tension between fragility and resilience. To the right, jagged fragments of metal intertwine with similar fine, twig-like elements, creating a complex network of fractured shapes and delicate supports. The white backdrop heightens the contrast between the pristine surface and the weathered, industrial materials, inviting reflection on transformation, erosion, and the quiet narratives held within forgotten objects. Through this deliberate arrangement, the piece evokes the experience of slowly discovering relics whose story is written in texture, form, and the subtle marks of time.
