The exploration behind these works is Sassoon's search for meaning in life. Various emotions and thought processes are represented within these artworks by a dynamic interplay of colour and abstract geometric form. As a starting point and means to an end he aims towards the energy of intense colours and optic motion created by their juxtaposition.

The painting process is not the sort of spontaneous burst of creative splash; it is a slower and more mythical creative process. Starting with an idea of an image from intuition, Sassoon goes through a process of developing and visualizing the idea using digital blueprints. These digital images evolve over a period of time until they are “ripe” and that's when he starts putting them on canvas. The entire process from conception to execution is not continuous and may take a few months.

Making sculpture naturally emerged as an extension of Sassoon's painting. The intuitive ideas that are at the basis of each are less abstract and more apparent than his paintings. Importantly, his sculptural works have an architectonic quality: a conscious and reverential nod to architecture. Unlike his painting process, Sassoon does not use blueprints to make sculpture. The idea-to-artwork path is more direct and spontaneous which makes his art making adventurous, surprising and risky
