Observation
What I feel and see in Sam Spratt's work is a sense of existentialism. Bringing me back to the tale of Adam & Eve and the story that follows the birth of humanity. The blend of abstract coupled with realism elicits a sense of human growth through a unique lens of hindsight. Aside from the imagery, the colors bring out a sense of unease. The use of earth-like colors induce a lurking darkness which prompts the viewer on an adventure to search for the light. The viewer is on a constant search for answers.

- silly introverted human. by the time you leave the masquerade you'll realize that us "monkeys" aren't really so different from you after all
- it is the skull he seeks
- the council decides not who they want to win a prize but which anonymous entry they resonate the most. the council wields no power over you, unless you let them
Revision
I found more questions than answers. The search for light never ends. The quest has just begun.
