Collection concept:
Pneuma II
I have never seen an angel before. Angels are said to be light, love, pure intelligence, they are the Creator's interface with His very creation. This collection seeks to explore the angel's journey in this interval between heaven and earth. The angel floats gracefully like a clear sound of music, like a wave carrying good thoughts, like a protector when you don't even think you need one, like a vibration of the soul, like a sparkling mind but also like a blaze of fire or like a warrior of righteousness.
