A large-format mixed-media work depicting a suspended winged figure — the most iconographically charged image in the collection. A figure or creature with outstretched wings hangs from a chain or cord that descends from the top right of the composition. The wings are described in teal-blue ink with specific feather marks, the body beneath them pale and small. At the lower right, a second smaller winged form appears to lie on the floor below. The background is split: the left portion a pale sky-blue wash suggesting open air, the right portion a deeper blue-violet suggesting a wall or interior darkness. Pink and white marks punctuate the ground zones.
The winged figure suspended from a chain — an angel on a hook, a bird held by a thread — is the collection's most symbolically resonant image. The figure could read as a trophy (wings pinned to a wall), as a religious icon (an angel in suspension, neither fallen nor ascending), or as a creature caught between states. The chain descending from the top edge gives the wings no choice about their position: they are spread, but not in flight — displayed rather than free.
The second smaller form at the lower right — on the floor, its wings down — may be the first form fallen, or a second figure in a different state. The two winged forms in their different conditions — one suspended mid-composition, one fallen below — together suggest a narrative of suspension and fall, aspiration and gravity, that none of the other works in the collection approach. This is the closest the collection comes to myth-making.
