This mosaic panel is by Canadian Indigenous artist Wayne Ashley who uses his art to give voice to people forgotten by society. 

He writes, On the Creator’s throne sit four living creatures: a lion, an ox, an eagle, and a creature with a human-like face. All have six wings and eyes around their heads. They fly to the four corners of the earth and release the four horsemen. One of the horesemen will appear on a white horse with a great bow. This horseman has conquered and has come to conquer. He will throw the false prophet, his beast, and his legions into the lake of brimstone and fire.”
