The Gothic imagination reverently acknowledges the awesome spiritual forces that are operative in our world, and its art stresses a reality that includes the spiritual, as well as the physical. Our gothic creature, sculpted by Craig Miller, symbolises such as extended reality: Mikan is earthly and familiar, yet fantastic and otherworldly as he peers into the heavens toward a greater single existence in which the physical and spiritual merge. Mikan’s knowing smile projects a transcendent wisdom cultivated through his long contact with the continuous flow of human experience. He is like a spectre of departed years, and shall remain long after those who now gaze upon him have ceased to be in this world.
