Taken from an article in The Oklahoman (link below):

“They required a lot of updating of different designs and making sure they got it just right — that it represented the community, that it represented many generations in the community and the community's optimism for the future — because they really wanted this to be a transformative work of art at the site.”

“Home” is a triptych, or three panels thematically connected, making it one of Oklahoma City’s largest murals and a major piece for Ward 7. Barboza describes the design elements as blending culture and family with the tumultuous parts of history to create a beautiful tapestry.
