This is the story of a young woman walking her life’s path, surrounded by threatening monsters watching her. The monsters symbolize the trials we face in life or the toxic people we may encounter along the way. The luminous being surrounding the young woman represents protective faith (regardless of one’s beliefs). “Protected by our faith, we can walk our life’s path with serenity.”

This Collection of 5 complementary marquetries is inspired by the 7th allegory of Le Pater by Alphonse Mucha.
