The myth which MacEwen employs is functionally important for expressing a world-view.

She used to derive images as well as ideas from past as well as far away cultures in order to deepen her Canadian tradition with the most indispensable essentials for fashioning its independent history and glory.

The attention towards the middle-eastern world is part of her extreme intention of rendering a glorious and brilliant time in which perfection could be touched appropriately.

She searches for a world of mysticism and spirituality which she thinks necessary for finding higher degree of self-sufficiency.
