• Stone and Light
  Elias has spent thirty years carving angels whose eyes seem to rest in blessing — and quietly wondering whether a woman who walked out of his life was right about him. A journey upriver brings news that breaks his heart open. But everything changes with small shifts in how we see.
• Devotion

  Found as an infant on the cathedral steps, she was given the name Devotion.
  She grew in silence beneath stone and light.

  While others spoke, she learned the language of pillars, of dust, of the returning dawn.

  And then—

• The Cinder Sweeper

  When a kiln explodes in the Hall of Glassblowers, the cinder sweeper moves with a clarity she cannot explain — and cannot summon again. The fire subsides, the smoke clears, and life resumes as before, but something in her no longer fits the shape it once did. She begins to suspect that what opened in the flames was not a skill — but a threshold.

  A quiet meditation on the space before movement — where the foot rests and the air listens. This piece moves between free improvisation and a woven canon, circling stillness from two different angles. Enter for a few minutes, and see what follows you back out.

• The Warden at the Gate

  A father comes to a gate to watch for one person and ends by watching for many. Over time, his loss, and his attention, morph into something else.
