Faith, and trust, and love: Kinetic Light in process
One + One Make Three
Backlit by giant windows, Jerron and Alice are at the edge of flight. Jerron, a dark-skinned Black man with a beard and twisted black hair, tips forward onto the toes of one foot, arms extended wide from his shoulders and one leg bent behind him, cables connecting his pelvis with the ceiling. Alice appears in the foreground, a coffee-skinned multiracial Black woman with short curly hair, pitching forward - also in tension with cables from her wheelchair to the ceiling.

Descent
Venus balances on the footplate of Andromeda’s wheelchair, arms spread wide and wheels spinning. Andromeda opens her arms wide to receive her in an embrace. They make eye contact and smile. A starry sky fills the background, and moonlight glints off their rims. Photo BRITT / Jay Newman
