The hunger to be reborn again,
the struggle to be made new.

Drawing idea I had after talking at length with my nephew about cicadas molting/why they do that? And also, the sensation that sometimes your skin feels Too Tight and if you could just wriggle free, maybe there would be something good and fresh underneath.

I also realized rather far into this drawing that this kinda looks like a sex thing but... it's a body horror thing OK!! I based the pose off a few different shots of a cicada halfway through shedding but eh bien XD
