THE STORY

Written by Alexandra Christie

Blue is the rarest color of aurora borealis. 

More than green, more than red, blue is the least seen, and the most sought after. Blue represents tranquility in art, depth in the ocean, stability in light. In the night sky it represents strength - the strength of the sun’s solar flares colliding with our atmosphere. There is no obstacle for a lady of light. 


She knows what she wants and she reaches for it, no matter the odds, no matter how extraordinary. She has the tranquility to see her goal, the depth to understand it, the stability to pursue it, and the strength to achieve it. 


Be the lady of light. Be the northern glow. Be the rare hue in a harsh landscape. 


Become, aurora.
