The print is divided by a scene which takes place on a stage and the scene below it. A pale body in the middle of the stage floats in a stream of light towards a cross. Figures hide behind or hold the curtains through which we view the scene. Stairs descend from the stage to the place beneath. Three figures stuggle in turbulent waves which crash against the stage. "'More Than We Seem' is a focus for man's triumphant ability through faith to overcome all the adversities one encounters in human existence. Man is a spiritual being with power for good (or evil). But we can break through the prisons (stage left and right giants) of war, famine, greed, illness, etc by using our powers for good. Those who do not are destined to fall (the first two falling figures), but always have the option to change for the better, as St. Paul did. The nature beyond the set represents the spirit world. The set, the natural or earthly life." N. Kitterage.
