Sunset. Blankets. Holidays. Heartbreak. Conor O'Brien's images are warm like your towel after a swim; silent like eye contact across the room; awkward like your fumbled first kiss.

Been here before? Sure, Sophia Coppola, Stephenie Meyer and even Bonds have been milking the aching beauty and banality of adolescence for years. Oh, and they've all got best-selling soundtracks to prove it.

But before you roll your eyes and mumble that you've seen it all before, take a breath. THERE STANDS THE GLASS isn't trying to impress you. In Conor's world, images of fleeting heaven exist simply for themselves. And if you're lucky you might just catch a glimpse.
