The Seraphim is the second volume of the The Seven Seals septology by photographer Jesse Lenz. Delving deeper into the vision that started with The Locusts, the reader explores a realm of childhood enchantment where nature insists upon sets of fledgling counterparts. His children experience the joys, curiosity, and vulnerability of childhood alongside other creatures that seem to either be standing vigil over them, or stalking them from the shadows. The backyard becomes a labyrinth of passages as the children experience the cycles of birth and death in the changing seasons. The Seraphim depicts a brooding landscape where nature and grace can be witnessed through the prism of small, infinitesimal lives.

”Lenz is always present and the experience captured feels that way.” — Mark Stienmetz

“A supernatural book of gazing and running, of rising and falling, of bloom and wilt, of growth and decay.” — Igor Posner

“Tender, haunting, mesmerizing, and affirming. Beautifully produced with next-level, gorgeous printing.” — Raymond Meeks

”Alarmingly specific, with layers of ethereal, complex beauty. I look forward to seeing what happens next with each new chapter!” — Andrea Modica

"Jesse depicts the world through his kids like an army of poets. The Seraphim, drawing us a life like our dream from of a tasty summer sleep that we forgot within hours: stalking snakes, birds, raccoons, deers and the locusts as ever buzzing in the background. A sleep that heals the aspects on our broken world, make us forget the imperfectness of life.” — Sabiha Çimen
