Multiple vignettes flow through the mural connected by an undulating blue wave of water that crashes and rolls from one end of the wall to the other. The piece, a collaborative brainchild of Laporte and FEDCO, was fittingly given the working title "Water is Crucial to Life." It was renamed "Beyond the Current" at the conclusion of the work. "This mural was based around the concept of water being crucial to life. All life," Laporte said. "This project emphasizes the abundance of water that makes up our world, while reflecting the strong community ties in Monroe, as well as the importance of sustainability and the providing of fresh drinking water on a global scale."
