The Economic Department of the City of Pasadena, TX, initiated the project. The historic Long's Theatre building, built in 1930 and converted into the Gun Center, is a structure that locals have remembered for generations. The mural idea was proposed to aid with community identification and unity.

The artwork centerpiece is hands holding the gorgeous Texas live nature world as a reflection of the inner self. The main inspiration for this mural is the beauty of the inner world. The artwork serves as a reminder that the revival begins within. This is where the change in the world starts and ends. The mural conveys a robust, unifying, and motivational message: look inside to discover your true beauty, marking the beginning of a world transformation for the better.

The Phillips disaster in 1989 served as a hard lesson that took away 23 lives and injured many people. Events of this caliber should not be forgotten. The artist wanted to highlight it in the mural as it deeply touched many hearts in the community. It resembled, in a factory's shape, industrial pipes on both columns in the proposed design.

Work with the community included:

- In-depth research of Pasadena's history

- Several design proposals have been created for community voting
