Reflection Eternal is a mural created by Marka 27 and ProBlak. It represents the healing process that occurs when creating and receiving art. The mural features the legendary artist Paul Goodnight, who has been an inspiration to many artists, particularly artists of color. Paul's career and work have been a strong influence for many, not only as an artist, but also as a father and entrepreneur. It was only fitting to honor him in this project.

The artists were humbled when Paul agreed to collaborate with them, allowing Gabriel Ortiz to take his photo for the mural. In addition to Paul, the mural also features Queen B Bobbi, ProBlak's daughter. The amethyst, which is Bobbi's birthstone, holds a special significance for its healing power. With this mural, the artists aimed to represent the power of healing, ancestral connections, and right of passage. Paul and Bobbi coming together in full circle represents past, present, and future generations of Black excellence.
