A framed artwork titled “I am in all creation and all of creation is in me” by Victor Ekpuk. Against a white background, the work depicts a center circle, half beige, half blue, bisected by a single line. The line extends above the circle, where it becomes a tree or leaf, and below the circle, where it wraps around in a rectilinear fashion to form the figure of a person. The continuous line forms curved head and shoulders above the circle, and then continues below the circle to form first a knee and then a foot and toes. The artist signed the work below the curvature that makes the knee in the bottom right [Victor Ekpuk 04]. The title is written along the bottom, underneath the artwork ["i am in all creation and all creation is in me].
