"I have tried to convey what I have imagined Heaven's Princess would look like. Amid all the beguiling ways of this cruel world, she is able to look up and accept the fact that this life is hard—but by facing heavenward, she can receive strength to continue on. Because she holds true to her values and to who she initially is—a daughter of a King—she can arise from the world that weighs down on her heart. And because she has the courage to arise, she shines like a star, brightening the way for others. Her closed eyes symbolize faith and trust in the Lord, her crown symbolizes virtue, and the colorful pearls symbolize the Young Women values."
