Work Overview

Thunder is often attributed as an intense, cautionary experience. Yet, there is something uniquely beautiful in a thunderous rumble when it is distant, surrounded by an expanding environment. It is as if the echoes emulate a calming reassuring hum - for how often do we truly give attention to thunder when it speaks softly?
