Considered by Boxer to be his masterpiece, this work came directly from the artist. It was exhibited at the National Gallery of Jamaica and was later included in a major exhibition organized by Pan American Art Projects at its Wynwood gallery in Miami.
Boxer agreed to allow the work to be exhibited at the Pan American show provided that it ultimately be acquired by a public institution rather than a private collection. He regarded it as the most important of his wall pieces and hoped that it would remain accessible to the public.
