Through researching the history of 17th century Jesuit priest Martin Del Rio’s Investigations in Magic, Stephanie takes on the role of a contemporary artist wrestling with feminist ideals. Her methods consist of understanding the Disquisitionum Magicarum book, dissecting the book's front illustration, researching 17th century norms, as well as sketching ideas. Knowing that the front illustration of the book depicts the ten plagues from Exodus in the Bible, she decided to continue with the number ten. However, Stephanie recreated each of these ten plagues with a feminist twist. Each of her peers, who were naturally female in gender, were paired with a plague and then photographed. 

The misogyny of the 17th century seen throughout  Disquisitionum Magicarum inspired her feminist concepts. Women were seen as weak and easily susceptible to magical activities. Therefore, women were the easiest target for men in power to cast them out as a witch. Even the word “witch” is feminine in nature. This did not sit right with her. For that reason, Stephanie depicted these strong women in her life as taking back the power and embracing this notion of witchcraft which defined the lives of women in the 17th century. Focusing on the stare of the subjects, she was able to create an eye contact between the subject and viewer that invokes a sense of discomfort as these powerful magical scenes are viewed.
