Hallowed Moments at the Gates of Doom
A pale seated figure bends within an oval field of smoky darkness, one large wing sweeping upward beside the body. The caption invokes hallowed moments speeding towards the gates of doom. Bridgman-Metchim encloses the figure so closely that the curves of the wing and the oval seem to answer one another. The image belongs to the visionary sequence of Atlantis: The Book of the Angels.
