I need to provide the physical support of the chalace with the quartz crystals, yet I need to have something that re-enforces the vision of Jesus Christ holding up high the beacon as well as projecting him as a wholesome and strong person whom we all can come to for support and companionship.

I try to outline the glass engraving with stainless steel, which is from several pieces of silverware that are cut and tig welded together to create both the legs and arms. The metal conveys the vision of strength, yet beauty. It is subtle as it lies behind the glass engraving.

As the glass engraving is lit with LEDs, you do see some light reflected off the metal that there is something there and draws the viewer into Jesus Christ's image.
