"We all have our personal dragons to confront. We should try to meet these as soon as possible and arrive at that meeting armed with just the right weapons.
This is inspired, both in style and content, by the woodcuts of German Renaissance master, Albrecht Dürer. The people of his time viewed these depictions as literal battles between real angels and demons. We now have more sophisticated tools of interpretation, just as my angel has more sophisticated tools of his own.
We know that both the dragon and the angel are us."
