Energy Conversion

General idea is to honor the electrical workers by depicting the bending, positioning and angles that are required to manipulate the pipes for electricity. There's also the duality of male and female figures represented as professionals in their Craft/trade. The abstract piece in the middle is based on Tesla's AC/DC motor which he invented that allowed current to flow both ways; the patterns symbolize energy. The mural overall illustrates the human manipulation of energy and how we concentrate it for our own benefit and lighting the world.
