On The Way Home: Sleepless Nights is part of an ongoing ecosystem of three-dimensional work based on nighttime ambiance in New Orleans. This iteration, titled Sleepless Nights, is an emotive impression of the wake after the party and the long struggle of summertime decay.

Presenting a drifting series of vignettes that form a visceral narrative of the dance of revelry, decay, resilience, and grief that soaks New Orleans, and make it such a challenging and special place to live, the key imagery in this piece focuses on the unique architecture of houses that act as main characters.

Music by Crumbly Roberts.
