This painting is an original oil painting part of a three pieces collection. Periodical cicadas hibernate underground for 17 years after which they come out noisy and ready to mate only to end their life cycle not without leaving a new generation of cicadas that will follow the same fate. Although it might seem a long time, changes do takes time, the human heart take even more time to grow and learn how to be a more open and forgiving heart; As long as it keeps beating happily there is always a chance for you to grow.
