ID: A geometrically shaped mural design shows purple tree hands signing "Connect" in front of a PNW sunset among purple evergreen forests. In the foreground of the hands are pink and yellow native flowers, and a big-eyed butterfly flying, a big-eyed bumble bee perched on a yellow flower, and a big-eyed hummingbird drinking nectar from the pink flower. On the far left of the mural is a dark purple background where there are monochromatic purple caricatures of flowers and a tree stump with big mouths humming, talking, and screaming at each other. A rhododendron plant with leaves in the shape of ears transitions the "dark side" of the mural to the bright side where the hands and native wildlife are located.
