A handcrafted and stained wooden lightbox box is on a table, sitting next to a copy of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona for the PSP.

This lightbox consists of multiple layers of card depicting an abstract scene from persona. A female head which represents Maki Sonomura is connected to the DVA machine, the "ideal" version of Mikage-cho radiating out from the Maki as her thoughts become projected into reality. The artwork is framed by a butterfly, representing Philemon who is observing the events of the game.

This is the first lightbox pattern I made. Because I did not have a cutting machine at the time, each layer of card was printed and cut by hand.
