Measuring in at roughly 20' x 60', this stunning piece just takes over the corner of Emma Avenue and Hewitt Street in the burgeoning downtown Springdale area. The art cover the entire west side of the building and continues for a short distance around the front.

From left to right, the following images appear over a multiple-colored background:

- a white hand and a black hand about to join together
- a hummingbird
- the word "NATURAL" written vertically
- a female form diving into water
- a large female face
- a stork (?) standing with a full moon in the background
- two hieroglyphic-style fish
- a small flower that has bloomed
- an iguana sitting on a rock
- the word "STATE" spelled horizontally
- a recessed window or door
- a female riding a bicycle

At this point, the image continues on the front of the building, where we can find:

- a branch of a mulberry tree with mulberries attached
- a deer
- the word "UNITED" spelled horizontally
