Are Mosquito's Lonely?
Ingrid dives deep into a conversation about love and devotion in this piece. She begins by observing the mosquito's hovering behavior and how invested the mosquito is in her own life. Ingrid sympathizes with the mosquito saying it only wants to be part of something. With anyone that wants to gain a relationship with someone they begin to hover and hang around more just as the mosquito does.
She paints the picture of her and the mosquito having the best time of their life as they gaze into a tree while laying on a pasture. And continues to reiterate that the mosquito wants to be a part of her just as a significant other might feel.

Ingrid draws an important connection that humans and mosquitoes should form a type of relationship. Whether this relationship concerns pest management and how to better control mosquito's so they still feel a part of something, or how to provide other food sources for mosquitoes.
People have a trend of fear with most insects including mosquitoes that creates a cycle of killing them to protect themselves. With artistic pieces like Ingrid's the mindset of many can be changed to not be as aggressive with mosquitoes and possibly find other management options.
Of course it is important to remember that mosquitoes are not the friendliest creature. They are a vector for diseases such as malaria and are could be considered a deadly species. It is difficult to consider that mosquitoes could be treated differently. For many the first instinct is to get rid of them by frantically clapping or spraying ourselves with bug repellent. The important message to take from this piece is that while mosquitoes may be harmful to human health there may be a place for them in agriculture or bio-technology processes.
