Like the Cicada

Coinciding with the return of the cicadas after a seventeen-year hibernation, this site-specific installation also marks a downturn in the COVID infection rates and the beginning of summer. The enclosed space allows visitors a place of sanctuary and respite. Woven in the dense foliage are hundreds of paper cicadas. The title is taken from the Maria Elena Walsh song Como La Ciggara whose lyrics poetically describe resiliency in the face of severe adversity.
