The Discovery
mural with community component

This mural was commissioned by Durham County for a new downtown development near the Hayti neighborhood. We were inspired to go with this concept after researching Hayti’s past. The mural is located by the garage entrance, which is the “under the bed” section of a building; a “gateway” of sorts. We wanted to create an atmosphere of child-like innocence interwoven with an element of “past meets future”; this little girl looks under the bed to find interesting elements of the past that once seen they cannot be unseen, and will influence into the future.
