I remember joking to a friend that maybe a big insect, a bee or something, worked in that cubicle. In one window, and one window only, someone had placed a bright red flowering plant to catch the sun. The earliest idea for Cicada came during a visit to Berlin around 2005, although it could have been any city at any time: I was looking at the imposing grey façade of an office building, studded with hundreds of grey windows. or is it? You never can tell what a bug is thinking. It's a very simple 32-page picture book about the unspoken horrors of corporate white-collar enslavement. Cicada is the story of an insect working in an office, and all the people who don't love him.
