The Atrium Project

The Atrium Project | 2023 | acrylic on glass | 12’’ x 30’ | Smithfield-Selma High School

The Atrium Project is a silhouette mural of native fruits and vegetables within the state of North Carolina; various mammals such as the eastern gray squirrel and the red cardinal; pine and dogwood trees. The Atrium Project looks into a courtyard located within the Foods Hallway of Smithfield-Selma High School. As the sun rises from the east and makes its way to the west, shadows from all the silhouette’s appear as if they are growing. The Atrium Project addressed North Carolina’s agriculture, awareness of healthy food choices, and environmental preservation and conservation.

Thanks to Smithfield-Selma High School students, Art Teacher, Megan Hill Pike, and the North Carolina Arts Council.
