Located on the east side of the South entrance lobby, Revival is a mural installation created for The CTR that explores the cyclical nature of the human experience through abstraction, rhythm, and pattern. Through layered forms, movement, and interconnected visual language, the work reflects the ways we are constantly becoming.  Moving through seasons of birth, transformation, rest, connection, loss, renewal, and growth.

Deeply rooted in my love for Atlanta, the mural draws inspiration from the vibrancy that lives within the city itself; its streets, music, movement, culture, and the invisible rhythms that connect its people. The color palette mimics the pulse of Atlanta: a bold soulful, layered, and alive embrace.  Shapes move across the surface like songs, conversations, impressions, and memories, honoring the energy that has always existed here and the communities that continue to shape it.

Atlanta has long been a place of gathering, creativity, resilience, and cultural transformation. In many ways, this moment feels like another revival for the city, our world, and for this space itself.  A truly renewed chapter in a place that has historically brought people together for reasons that helped shape the world we know today. Now, it stands to do so again in new and evolving ways, cultivating global connection with innovation, love, and joy.  This work reflects that ongoing transformation: the beauty of people converging, growing, rebuilding, and imagining new futures together.

At its core, Revival speaks to the power of reconnection; returning to self, returning to one another, and evolving into something new. It is an acknowledgment that even through periods of uncertainty, stillness, or change, there is always movement toward growth, healing, and possibility. Through this installation, I hope to honor the connections formed within this space; past and present.  As we together, illuminate the ways these moments, people, and experiences that will continue to shape the steps of our future tomorrow.
