Seadon is a multidisciplinary artist whose work blurs the line between reality and perception. Through photography, mixed media, and conceptual staging, they explore themes of transition, disconnection, and the hidden narratives beneath everyday life. Their practice blends spontaneous discovery with deliberate construction, often using modest materials and surreal lighting to create scenes that feel both familiar and unsettling. Grounded in a belief that beauty and truth emerge from imperfection and constraint, Seadon invites viewers to question the structures that shape their realities. Their work has been recognized in local exhibitions, earning critical acclaim for its emotional depth and inventive visual language.
