The window is made using a variety of techniques including plating layers of glass, acid polishing and sandblasting blue flash glass.

The right-hand light represents a mountain torrent flowing down to the rock face, while the water flowing to the left and out of the window is suggestive of the growing spiritual awareness of the psalmist. |
