How do you create illustrations that embody the “united strangers” spirit?

I was inspired by how we’re all connected even if we don’t realize it. I know Miriam, who knows Charlie, who knows Harry…; we’re all just one big chain of strangers yet to be friends! My mural design (which was also adapted to be a gift card) shows exactly that! Strangers connecting over a shared smile, or friendly moment at United Strangers Coffee Shop.
