A cyclops turns its gaze in a full circle. Hills and mountains around an artist’s home in the Mojave Desert appear in a sequence of life drawings. A demon avatar cries out in pain. A lobster turns into a rhinoceros. A woman crushes garlic in homage to her grandmother. An artist and his creation have a symbiotic meeting in the woods.
