This mural was commissioned by Rev. Barter of Holy Innocents Anglican Church in Paradise. The church had created a garden area in front of a grey foundation wall that they wanted to spruce up, and put out a call on social media seeking volunteers. Artist Rod F. Beck learned of the opportunity, visited the site, discussed his idea with Rev. Barter and created a concept drawing, which was approved. "I stuck with the garden idea, large plants with two large hands, one male and one female - not quite touching - coming together as a set of praying hands," Beck says. The artist used warm pinks and oranges for the female hand, and cold blues and purples for the male hand, to help convey emotion. "These coloured hands represent all races coming together in prayer and working together," Beck adds.
