The Believe Deck was inspired by the Wayang Shadow Puppets of the Island of Java, Indonesia. The detail and intricacy they used to create the puppets, without making it seem overdone, was beautiful to us. In many ways we felt that style really captured the essence of this project for us and who we are.
