Apollo 11 was created to build awareness about the innate wealth every human being possess irrespective of socioeconomic status, race, gender, religion, cultural background and the like. The composition is anchored in a simple truth "what you seek is seeking you" (Rumi quote) and aims to level the playing field in society by illustrating internal thoughts and emotions are the real building blocks for reality which means no person is ever lacking in the assets needed to live a beautiful and abundant life.

Mye Coates is a graphic artist based in Washington DC using her creativity to reinforce the importance of mindfulness. Inspired by metaphysics, her work illustrates human beings (individually and collectively) shapeshift reality through the thoughts, emotions, actions and behaviors they choose to occupy. This profound truth is often hidden in plain sight so she uses unconventional objects to express her viewpoint, things most people use in everyday life where the innate beauty of the "thing" is overshadowed by it's utility. Her 3D compositions demonstrate personal belief-systems are blueprints that construct the outer world (physical matter) so that anyone who is wishing to make changes in their life recognizes themselves as the chief architect and builder in the journey.
