This Mural was created in 2018.
The Mural artist is Rayneil McKinny, a former TRU Bachelor of Science student from the Bahamas. This three-story image spanning across the International Building’s Stairwell is supposedly based on the Jade carving of a ship, located in the same building.
According to an interview of Rayneil on a TRU Webpage, , regarding a previous mural, “‘The best gift you can give another person,’ says Rayneil, ‘is the ability to believe in yourself, that anything is possible.’” (Egan, 2018).

When heading up the stairs within the International building, this Mural follows the various walls and spans three stories tall. This allows you to view a story as you wind your way up or down the staircase.
