The large scale mixed media composition masterfully establishes an intellectual cross cultural dialogue bridging. Eastern female iconography with Western classical architectural histories. Seggiaro subverts a traditional monochrome etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi overlaying a highly detailed hand embroidered kneeling geisha figure. The artwork balances intricate textile volumes in rich crimson, bright yellow and deep black with a patchwork matrix of abstract geometric blocks that bring the dimension of the minuscule closer to the observer.
 
The ambitious exercise of working with techniques such as large-format embroidery only exacerbates the perfection of detail through the change of scale. What was once the page of a book is transformed to bring the dimension of the minuscule closer to the observer. This arouses curiosity and evokes primordial feelings that oscillate between existential anguish, the passage of time, life, death, intimacy and eroticism.
