The Spanish word "oración" is written. It actually says "oraciones" and then what appears to be the continent of Africa is next to it. Perhaps this means prayers for Africa? Oración means prayer or speech in Spanish. There is no other text to be found on this large mural and no credits either. The personnel at the school had no clue as to the origin of the mural as well and there was nothing on the internet.
On another wall there is a "flat" map of the Earth depicting all the continents. There are also some hands in the mosaic as well. I also noticed what appears to be an all-seeing eyes, perhaps representing Deity. Whatever this mural stands for or represents its potential symbolism is lost on me. It is pretty to look at.
To visit the mural use the main entrance. The posted coordinates are for the main entrance. When you walk in the mosaic mural will be everywhere as though it were shrapnel and there was a huge glass and tile explosion which stuck to the wall in a regular pattern.
Specific visit requirements:
Walk in and tell the security desk you want to see the mural. It can also be seen form the front doors if you do not want to go inside.
