Through the Editor's Eyes
Cicadas? Cats? Birds, perhaps?  Look closer. Shapes repeat, but never quite the same in orientation or color. The patterns refuse to settle. There is movement and an insatiable electricity within them.

What do you call a thing that is too much for words? A thing that isn’t quite a thing, something that shifts the moment you recognize it? Language fails here. This is absurdity as defiance. Talk is Cheap forces the viewer to abandon the need for explanation.
