The wolf stands proudly as the mascot for Aquinas Residential College in North Adelaide. Accompanied by the Latin motto "Lucere et Ardere," meaning "to shine and burn," the wolf serves as a symbolic representation, enlightening with knowledge and enlivened with faith.

The inclusion of a constellation in the mural serves as a reminder of the connection to the divine, paying homage to the residential college's faith-based origins. This captivating artwork not only pays tribute to the core values of Aquinas but also injects a vibrant burst of colour onto the historic, tree-lined streets of North Adelaide.
