Chasing Light is an interdisciplinary meditation on the nature of time. The work explores the desire for origin, balance, and the interconnectedness of all things. Through encaustic painting, long-exposure photography, and sculpture, Pierce explores the infusion of light, its mapping over time, and its temporal qualities of both mystery and discovery. Many of the works feature a circle or portal—a recurring theme for Pierce—inviting us inward while invoking harmony and inclusivity. Chasing Light aligns introspection and environmental awareness, echoing a deep connection to nature and to finding the still point within.
