It is composed of three panels of plexiglass, each representing a different aspect of two artworks, Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mona Lisa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Stigmata<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The first panel shows maps of the regions where the art was made. The second overlays the<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mona Lisa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Stigmata<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the third adds a visual representation of society\u2019s feelings toward each of the pieces.
