There’s no Easter egg master like Taylor Swift — and TIME magazine relied on the fun.
In light of the announcement of TIME’s Person of the Year 2023, London-based artist Jane Perkins was chosen to create a portrait of the singer with dozens of hidden Easter eggs.
The portrait was created using materials whose shape and color contribute to the vision: “I’m a ‘re-maker,’ taking inspiration from found objects and turning them into something new,” Perkins told TIME.
She added: “I work with materials that have a history, often things that have reached the ‘end of the queue’ that even charity shops can’t sell – broken or out-of-date jewelery and items that haven’t been sold for a long time.”
