On Such a Full Sea - Murals and Stained Glass

As I was reading through the mural scenes, I couldn't help but feel reminded of the stained glass windows you'd typically see in churches. Typically, these stained glass pieces will feature a religious icon (maybe Jesus, Mary, some saints, disciples, etc.), in the context of what we know of their lives. A few depict hopeful scenes, like Jesus' return, or important icons rising up to heaven. As Mr. Kim had us read over the mural passage again, it was interesting to see how much they connected. The mural is pretty much a summation of these girls' lives, and even what some of their hopes and aspirations will be. Both are in a very elegant style, and it's this beauty that gives these pieces power.
