This piece is dedicated to a place where everyone is welcome, no matter of skin color, culture or language. Doshi Coffee House is none prejudice, peaceful place where people of all backgrounds congregate. With that in mind, Monica wanted to create something that focused on humanism and equality. She utilized the color wheel as an inspiration for the design and graphic look of the piece. By doing this the artist wanted to communicate the idea of how the mixer of any of the primary colors of the color wheel can create any and every color in existence. This fact is also true for humans, although we’re all different shades and colors were all created the same, we all bleed the same blood, and we are all human.

When speaking of race as a scientific theory, there are no genes common to a group of people that would classify them as a certain race. Therefore, race is an idea, not a fact, it doesn’t need biology because it is a social construct. With this in mind, using race as a way to divide us diminishes our divinity as humans is a waste. There is only one race, the human race. Our blood is the same color, we all breath oxygen, etc. and although we have different skin tones, cultures, foods, clothing, languages which makes each and every one of us different, we are all homo sapiens. Embracing each other’s differences rather it is culture, food, language, etc. makes more sense than to hate one another because of our differences. In the words of Bob Marley, “ One Love”
