The surreal wonder of Jacob’s divine experience is suggested here with his dream of the ascending and descending angels. Abstract gold angels are ascending and in attendance, with those that didn’t make it represented in black, hurtling earthwards. Fragments of delicate butterflies’ wings are allusion to the wonders of God’s creation.
