 there are moments of radiance and hope, however small and fleeting.

We've been having a blast giving a glimpse into the mechanics behind 

and today, we’re honored to take a look at some of the set's art with the reveal of 

 Founder and Creative Director, Erik Olofsson.

“The prompt was that it was to be much like the famous painting of the same name,” Lindsey explains, referencing the Italian painter Sassoferrato, “but also have a magical effect coming from the hands clasped in prayer.”

Sassoferrato painted more than one version of the Virgin, one looking downward, the other gazing to the heavens. Lindsey considered both before settling on the expression that she felt captured the tone of

Much like Darkness says in the film, ‘What is light, without Dark? … I am a part of you all.’ I have to agree with him! We all have the capacity for both, so I honestly love playing with both.”

It’s a perspective that resonates deeply in 

a set defined by contrast, where even the purest light feels more vivid when cast against the shadow of
