“The Weight”
A visit to this spot hit like a lightning bolt.
The Saguaro Cactus as seen from the inside of
a cactus boot or nest looking out. This scene is absolutely inspired.
A Peripheral Vision, the construct utilizes a peculiar skill I have to convolute any space that accommodates it into a compressed peripheral fisheye view.
