This mural is part of a series of murals painted on the wall outside of the house of former president Daniel Ortega. The murals were painted as a demonstration of protest against destruction of murals. This destruction continues to happen in Nicaragua today.

David Kunzle describes how muralists came together to create the wall.
"The painters immediately converged upon the principal wall threatened, which was decorated with what they called the Mural de la Dignidad, a series of designs (none of them political) by a dozen different artists, now covering close to a hundred meters, intended to protect Ortega both magically and physically."
