The piece Pop came about as a series of large-format paintings. Hughes has allowed different flowers to play a leading role, and in this piece poppies fill the foreground of the canvas and make it difficult to look at the landscape element that seems to lie behind.

The title of the work elegantly plays with the English word for poppy, poppy - and then 'pop', which is both popular culture and an art movement that cultivated this very culture. But pop is also the sound of something popping out. Like bud shoots, the poppies that spring up here and there have finally covered the canvas. Pop, pop.

In 2019, Shara Hughes was interviewed by the Louisiana Channel in her studio in Brooklyn, New York. In the interview, they talked about getting inspiration from other painters and why she feels that a good painting is about "going to the edge and not giving all the answers".
