The creation of the exhibit was designed and overseen by stained glass artists Tom Holdman and Cameron Oscarson.

[3] Each of the panels was handcrafted from over 43,000 pieces of glass depicting part of the progress of human knowledge during recorded history.

[5] These included a shark's tooth, part of the Berlin Wall, a Purple Heart medal, a $5 bill from 1777, and glass from NASA.

[3][10] The installation was described as a "tour de force" by the curator of ceramics and glass at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
