Angel

Angel was made in the quiet interval between movement and flight. A snowy egret stood in the still blue water with its wings opened wide, held for only a few seconds before the surface began to change. The reflection transformed the moment into something larger—part bird, part light, part abstraction—while the surrounding water reduced the scene to its simplest elements: white feathers, deep blue, and a single point of balance. It is one of those brief encounters that rewards returning to the same shoreline again and again, waiting for stillness to become extraordinary.
