Overview

These glimpses caught in words or images are each so weightless and so shifting that you could think they have no substance . . . that is, until the moment when like curling smoke and light they touch each other in the darkness, and a bright perception takes form, looks back at us, comes alive. - Philip Gross The exquisite fusion of image and word renders a deeply satisfying aesthetic experience, whereby we are transmuted by its profundity, exquisiteness and light. Indeed, accomplished artists in their own right, photographer and poet have melded their talents to produce a visceral and ethereal monograph on the flights of angels and in turn have lifted up our souls to the very gods. - Paula Marvelly (Author & Editor, The Culturium)
