At first glance, they appear to be pleasantly evocative black-and-white photographs that celebrate the beauty of the sky. In one, the graceful outline of a tree is silhouetted in dim, fuzzy light; in another, a bird soars out of a frame filled with sun-lit clouds. But wait. What are these things falling from the sky and into the ocean? And are they objects lifted from other images and stitched onto the photograph?

There is nothing to say.”
