The mural was created to commemorate the 160th anniversary of Katowice. On an intensely red background, the artist depicted two black pegasuses in motion, referencing both the city's mining past and its future associated with development, energy, and modernity. The figures turned in opposite directions can be interpreted as a metaphor for Katowice – a city that remembers its roots while boldly looking towards new challenges and opportunities.

Thanks to the vivid contrast of colours and distinctive expression, the mural not only adorns the tenement's facade but also tells the story of the city's identity and the changes taking place within it. For the artist, the realisation is a personal interpretation of Katowice, a gift for the residents, and a manifestation of joy and creative energy. It is also the largest work in her current body of work.

The mural was created on the wall of an apartment building belonging to a housing community, serving as an example of street art executed on private property and a testament to the growing openness of residents to collaborate with artists.
