Fallen Hour
the quiet hum of an empty diner, an angel rests her head on the table — wings heavy, light fading. Fallen Hour speaks to the exhaustion of surviving, to the invisible weight so many carry in silence. It’s a portrait of stillness and struggle, a reminder that even those who seem ethereal can feel unbearably human.
