"Sing" is an exploration of gender, or lack thereof. The character depicted is intentionally androgynous, sleeping peacefully yet with ominous undertones in the surrounding composition. This is intended to invoke a sense of comfort, but also the ambiguity of transcending the gender binary. The two cicadas present a stark contrast to this drowsy serenity. They represent the unbearable, skin-crawling feeling of being in a body that is unaligned with one's gender identity.
