The museum’s grand hall was flooded with sterile, unforgiving light. At its heart, suspended by heavy ropes, hung a figure with the silhouette of a man and the vast, folded wings of an angel. Warning signs encircled it, declaring danger. Hours later, under a wash of moonlight, you stole back inside. The captive looked serene, almost sculpted from marble—until you neared the ropes. Then you saw the lie in his stillness. His eyes were open, wide and watchful, holding you in their dark-and-gold gaze.
