Fallen Angels of Munich
“The hourglass garden”
Gentle wings ascend, whispering names into the dawn, calling,
And with the morning light, we present,
The symphony of voices,
Our Residents of Munich.
In the gentle twilight of existence, where angels once soared with ethereal grace, they surrendered their wings to descend upon our world, becoming the silent guardians amongst us. Each feather left behind tells a tale of sacrifice, a testament to their devotion.
In the quiet strength of a mother’s embrace, a father’s steadfast resolve, a teacher’s guiding wisdom, a firefighter’s fearless valour, doctor’s healing touch, we see these earthly forms.
The start of this project Fallen Angels of Munich captures these earthbound angels and their everyday heroism, weaving their invisible wings into the fabric of humanity. Welcome to this unique project, where wings symbolize more than feathers and light; they honor the selfless acts that uplift our world. Each image is a homage, a vivid acknowledgment of sacrifices made for the betterment of others - a poetic canvas of gratitude and reverence. This unique endeavor invites the residents of Munich to step into the spotlight, as they don on their wings, they are honored as angels, a gesture of gratitude and acknowledgment for their unwavering dedication. Beyond individual stories, this project seeks to build a supportive community, combating loneliness by connecting real people through shared experiences and narratives.
Meet Cris, a dynamic traveler who journeys between the sunlit streets of Barcelona and the bustling heart of Munich. Her frequent trips for a project have woven her into the Munich community - a cherished friend and a colleague. Her journey, however, comes with the sacrifices of time away from home - a commitment she embraces with grace. The wings symbolize her gift of building connections, and her ability to turn every new city into a place of comfort and friendship. Through her story, Cris shows us that being an angel is more than the wings you wear, it’s about the bridges you build and the lives you touch along the way. More power to you - your corporate superwoman!
Join in celebrating these remarkable individuals, and witness the beauty of their stories through the lens of empathy and gratitude.
