Babies float up in the air, arms and legs stretched and looking directly at the viewer. The life giving air duct is connected to the umbilical cord giving them a very human identity yet it floats above us in an angel like pose, wanting, yearning, reaching - to embrace - to be embraced. They are present as physical bodies and remind us of life as both miraculous and ephemeral.
