Divine Reverberations expresses the power that each individual has to make an impact. We may nurture a plant or animal. We may develop science to improve our lives. We may radiate love to others or show gratitude for the small things that bring joy. Each of these acts, no matter how small, creates a ripple that carries through the universe.
Artist, Christina Farrell, features two young people in the role of protectors of our future. The person on the left tends to a narrow-leafed milkweed – a plant that is endangered in Iowa and supports the life cycle of monarch butterflies. The person on the right holds a red-shouldered hawk, also endangered in Iowa. They each emit a radiant light to represent their unique spirit and the power of the divine that exists within each of us. This ancient spiritual imagery is paired with symbols of science (light, circuits, photons, etc.) to demonstrate how we can use our intellect to imagine new solutions. Community members contributed to the mural by adding a “galaxy” of images that represent special things that they care about. The community also added circles (symbols of interconnectedness and the divine) to the bottom section to represent the unity of the Wellington Heights neighborhood.
