Description / Interpretation: 

The Statue of Liberty, Jesus, a man and a woman trapped in a universal barcode, and a pulsating heart are some of the imagery. The artist started without a pre-drawn plan. Originally there was a Native American symbol resembling a Nazi swastika in the center. It upset a neighbor, and then several years ago a fire suspiciously damaged only that portion of the mural.
