A deva dances in the dense rain forest as Tay Nontawat sculpts his vision of a Thai angel who inhabits a tree. In Thailand, devas are beings of exquisite grace and beauty that live in the heaven of sensuous pleasure. They often visit earth to help and protect humanity, or to bring messages from the gods. Using only hand tools, Nontawat carves the polychrome teakwood piece in three dimensions.
