“While many Angelenos speed down the freeways, crossing over the concrete channels that once were thriving environments, in “Watershed” we are left to contemplate how nature exists here. Artist­adventurers like Tsuno help to bring attention to this fact and remind us of the hidden ecosystems all around the city that are deserving our attention.” – ­Seth Hawkins, Artillery Magazine
