This eye-catching mural transforms a building wall into a vibrant scene where nature and architecture meet, transforming the facade into a beautiful work of art. A pyramid and bright sun hint at ancient wisdom and cosmic energy. On the right is a geodesic dome (a part of Southern Illinois history), combined with a flower, and flowing water helps highlight the harmony between technology and the natural world. A unique aspect is the window paintings, which further integrates the mural and become part of the story.
