Angel Moment in the Angle

About the Artwork

This is a picture of a beautiful angel I manifested in the summer of 2025, while I was dealing with the news of a loved one’s heart attack.

In that moment, I didn’t know what to do. I felt suspended—helpless, unsure. Then I looked up and noticed a beautiful corner filled with flowers and color. And I thought that the only thing I could do right then was to try to capture it.

So I laid down on my belly and snapped a picture of that beautiful scene, as a form of prayer. It wasn’t an easy angle to take. I tried many times. But eventually, I was able to capture what I saw.

And my loved one survived.
