“Some lights are not left behind. They are carried.”

Created as a quiet companion to Gloria, Lucia, The Light We Carry speaks in a softer voice.

Where Gloria rises with courage and strength, Lucia holds the gentler side of the story - the tenderness, the hope, and the light we keep close, long after a moment has passed.

With a white dove resting in her hands and red poppies blooming around her, Lucia reflects themes of peace, love, and the beauty of what we choose to carry forward.

Elegant. Gentle. Luminous. Lucia, The Light We Carry. 🕊️✨
