via the artist:

I was commissioned by St Austin's Catholic Church to design, fabricate and install a mosaic for the exterior of their new chapel that would speak to the young people who frequent that area and spread the messages of "hope," "peace," and "all are welcome" to a diverse community. Through many conversations with the church's art committee, we evolved this design, which expresses these sentiments through the concept of "ruach" (divine breath), and suggests that hope and peace are active, creative states of being.
