The second community-created mosaic project created by the residents of Twin Lakes with Jan Brown Checco was inspired by a lecture presented by author Laurie Beth Jones. A meditation of the nature of individuals, catagorized by the natural elements of earth, water, fire and air, Jones described a community in balance as a harmonious blending of all four elements. Over five months the residents modeled low and high relief tiles that represented various details related to each element, and glazing color coded each detail according to its element. The tiles were attached to a wonderboard base with 100% silicone, obviating the need for grouting and allowing the maximum impression of depth and separation of molecular units.
The mural is installed on a wall of the outdoor garden at the Main Campus.
