Angel Affair

“Years ago, while I was trapped in the Zurich airport during a huge snowstorm, I had a rather interesting experience.  Because we could not get to hotels, my fellow travelers and I spent the night sleeping on the floor waiting for the storm to pass.  These were primarily business men from all over Europe trying to make their connections home or to their next meeting.  I saw these exhausted men, most in suits, lying like fallen soldiers in some chrome and glass battlefield.

As I fell into a troubled sleep, I dreamed that all of these tired business travelers were visited by their angels that held them gently and kissed away their despair and loneliness.  But like many innocent beginnings, one kiss led to another and the “Angel Affair” idea was born.” – Michael Parkes
