ANGEL #3

PUBLIC ARTWORK IN THE CITY OF HJO SWEDEN

Angel #3.

Zena Holloway, in collaboration with Jeanette Lindström

Print on acrylic with sound, mounted on a lightbox 140 × 320 cm

This public artwork combines photography by Zena Holloway, music by Jeanette Lindström, and a reading from Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale.

Angel No. 3 is conceived as a guardian angel for the city of Hjo — a symbol of protection, presence, and peace in times of uncertainty.

“Behind me, I feel her presence. My ancestress, my double, turning in mid-air under the chandelier, in her costume of stars and feathers, a bird stopped in flight, a woman made into an angel, waiting to be found.”
— Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
