A scene painted on old cardboard depicts a cicada in loose brush strokes. On the other piece stands a man, wearing a backpack, holding his phone to take a picture off into the distance.
Two images reminiscent of the French country side create a memory that is both universal and distinct to the artist’s lived experience. As the man faces away from both the bug and the audience we are lead to believe there is more beauty to see beyond the frame than in it.
