The design features an ornamental, geometric pattern threading together 26 columns representing the evolution of our alphabet.

The premise of the artwork is that there is a common thread linking all cultures.  The columns decorated with colors and symbols represent the diversified personalities that make up our society.  The bulkheads represent this common thread which we are typically unable to witness in its entirety.

Funding for Vibrant Corridors, a city-wide effort to create murals in key underpasses and gateways around downtown Indianapolis, is provided in part by the Lilly Foundation and the Glick Fund, a fund of Central Indiana Community Foundation, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, the Arts Council of Indianapolis, and Downtown Indy.

This mural was completed during the 2014 Lilly Global Day of Service with the help of more than 200 Lilly Employees. J. Chin assisted the artist in creating the mural.
