Infans Angelus

Infans Angelus

This photograph portrays a child angel statue, seated in quiet repose amidst the cemetery in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. The angel’s form, though damaged by time and the elements, conveys an aura of innocence and vulnerability. The hands gently clasped over its chest suggest a protective, almost childlike gesture, emphasizing the fragility and transience of life. Surrounding branches create a delicate frame, adding depth and contrast to the piece. Part of the Fragments of Light and Shadow collection, this image invites reflection on loss and remembrance through the lens of time-worn beauty.
