i the siting

above the sinks, not above an altar

on the bathroom wall, over the two sinks and the round mirrors. it holds the wall from the ceiling track to the counter.

the room gone almost entirely black, only the white winged figure and its coiled ribbon burning on the wall

ii the states

one wall, several states

each photograph lights the room differently: saturated magenta, deep blue with the ceiling lamps burning orange, then near-black where only the white form survives.

the figure changes too, winged and feathered around a coiled ribbon in one state, spined and crowned with arms thrown wide in another.
