On the pages of three books, words are simultaneously destroyed and created with fire. Through the destruction of text, words appear, refusing to succumb to flame. They are the winged creatures of our souls, birds on wires, perched in line on pages of books waiting to be read, spoken; waiting to take flight. Like birds, they are both fragile and powerful.
