In this allegory of intellectual development, Jay Kaes' mural figuratively shows that culture flourishes in the human being.

"When someone smiles at us on the street or sends us an emoji to our socials, it gives us a little push. The same thing happens when, in our daily lives, we come across an idea that motivates us to learn and, sometimes, to discover what it blossoms within it. That's how we ingest it. Over time, we see that idea elsewhere, and eventually it blossoms within us as our culture."
