In Insectoïdes, the quickness of insect legs and the curiosity of antennae come to life through fluid, disjointed, and jerky movements. Each gesture becomes an artistic expression of the subtle interactions and complex relationships found in the insect world, as well as a dive into their psyche and reflexes.
