Flight of the Pheonix

Christian Breeden - Charlottesville, VA

By Christian Breeden

The Phoenix legend is one of self-transformation: as the benevolent bird dies, it is engulfed in its own flames, only to be reborn from the ashes of its former self. Our Phoenix too shall transform with the setting of the sun, taking on new life at night as her feathers light up and glow. Her beak will be equipped with flame effects and she will spit fire high above our heads, into the dark sky. Over the days and nights of PEXSF, I hope people will be enchanted by the dream-like specter of this unique and magical beast, wrapped in her dance of creation and destruction.
