This jewel-like piece stands as an homage to Blake's eponymous poem from Songs of Experience. In the French language of the birds, angel, ange reads ‘en je’ or ‘in I’. In that sense, the central Cupid figure aims to embody the part of love all beings carry beyond the doors of perception. According to Blake, love ignites the fire in the heart, enabling a communion of the soul towards its source— catalyst of the innate relationship with nature, joy, and divinity found in the innocence of childhood—often unlearnt by adulthood.

The frame, generally encapsulating the painting in its own sphere, here seeks to act as a bridge. Inspired by the audacious Arts & Crafts design of the Watts Chapel, the angels guide the viewer, now pilgrim, to take on their inner journey back to the garden of love.
