"Descent and Departure," from the "Where Memory Softly Falls" series, captures a profound journey through transition. Set against the iconic Columbia Gorge, a truck's disappearance into a tunnel symbolically mirrors a spirit's passage to the Other Side. Here, a Raven, ablaze with the transformative colors of the phoenix, embodies the courageous embrace of the unknown, signifying both farewell and the vibrant ascent into a new realm.
