From my youth, I have been fascinated with the cicada. The cicada stays underground for 2 to 17 years, depending on their species. Then, it emerges and sings its song in pursuit of a mate.

As I created the piece, I could see the eyes of the green cicada leap out and look at me. As I continued to work, I could see the thorax and wings of the cicada develop.

In this abstract art, the color green is symbolic of the green cicada. The green color with the peppering of red gives me a feeling of the lushness of summer, each time I engage with the Green Cicadas.
