about

A deadlock is a state in which each member of a group is waiting for another member, including itself, to take action.

"Lockdown" and "Crackdown" were inspired by global events in 2020.
"Crackdown" is dedicated to… Crackdown!
"Resurrection" was originally improvised and posted on Facebook on 22 April 2018.
