Black Night, Warm Embrace
Flight Over New York City, March 27th 2010
Black night
warm embrace
from above to below
rising spirits takes flight
as we connect we embark,
embrace and dream of bright
futures on this journey of light;
as one sum of an enlightened whole
seeing no color, no race, no face
will be left unstudied, embraced
as we are all bound by the same
Black night, warm embrace
rising higher, as we unite.

ILUCipher
ILUCipher
Emmanuel Herbulot, 2009, digital print, 14 x 14 in.
The title of the piece is using the acronym ILU:
To me, Cipher or Cypher sounds British much more than US, maybe because of Casino Royale, the 1967 (and 2006) James Bond movie, in wich Cipher is The villain (The Number). So, the British sense of humor inspired me in the end of the work, I decided a phonetic game for the title of the piece: ILUCipher. It indicates an emotional content into the piece made with emoticons. An extended meaning, "Loving Lucifer", is a thought-provoking idea. That's it, forever.
