Death of an Angel
Myself Haomnom (Ha~Om~Nom), an artist and a poet
This piece titled "Death of an Angel" explores what remains after something has already been broken
A body that no longer belongs to what it once was,
Yet one that refuses to turn to dust.
Not whole, neither gone...
Just quietly torn,
A remnant of something that refuses to be gone.
The figure is suspended in a state between presence and absence
It does not depict a fall, but rather the stillness that follows it
And I would like to leave the rest open to interpretation
One interpretation that stood out to me came from my sister, an aspiring writer, Amanita Zai. She described the figure as both being held and supported at the same time... held by the rope at its neck, yet supported by its broken wings, bound by what it has lost, and still sustained by what remains.
Thank You!
