about Untitled - Peek-a-Boo
An intricately-rendered eye is superimposed onto one of the many egg shapes that alternate with bright red squares.
Considering that Carter’s signature eggs are intended to embody the emergence of life, the watchful eye is perhaps a reminder to viewers that the cycle of life and death is eternally palpable.
