Crickets is an exploration of orientation, perception, and serenity nestled deep in a dreamlike forest. A disjointed yet connected view of lush vegetation, a reflective boat image obscured behind textured glass, and a compass perched next to a mechanical lens suggest a quiet search for meaning. The layered landscape invites both the literal and metaphoric traveler to pause, listen, and become still—like the lull between insect calls on a humid night.
