A vibrant & captivating photograph revealing unexpected wings, embodying moments of joy and normalcy in the extraordinary world of 2021.

I encountered ANGEL on one of my trips back to the UK during the covid era. We were living in Spain under what felt like very draconian measures. But we had been 'released' for long enough to run back to England to see family and friends.

Life in the UK felt a little less restricted than life in Spain and I felt liberated and able to 'hop and skip' along the streets of London and even go shopping! Seeing people out and about, doing their normal thing, going about their business was an enormous relief. And then I found ANGEL! He was up on a scaffold painting this fabulously vibrant mural. I felt compelled to stop and ask him if I could take his picture! He obliged! I felt cockahoop by the exchange (a massive oxytocin rush. Check out his face too! Maybe he was pleased as well! It wasn't until I got home and into my digital darkroom, that I discovered he had wings! That made sense! The difference it made at that time to have what felt like near normality, to be wandering around in the outside world, to be able to engage with strangers, fellow man and woman, exchange a friendly word and a smile. It's everything!
