The 8,000-square-foot work combines modern conceptual art with Islamic art. From the website "the project represents the artist’s emotional response to violence occurring across the globe in recent decades and his earnest hope for regeneration and lasting peace in the aftermath of man-made disasters." Qureshi used red acrylic paint that look like blood splatters but he also created foliage patterns similar to representations seen in miniatures of the Mughal period and in Central Park which surrounds the Roof Garden. Qureshi is the first artist to paint onto the roof's surface.
