1. Rebirth

Gabriel Eng-Goetz
“Rebirth embodies the diverse entrepreneurial spirit of RTP and Boxyard. An explosion of color attracts patrons to experience a visual feast of ancient symbols and current themes. Stylized brains float amongst a rising phoenix and dragon, both symbols of harmony and good fortune, surrounded by lotus flowers showing growth and symbiosis with nature. The Triangle has become a diverse, hard-working community over the years opening its arms to the immigrant community. As a Chinese American artist myself, this piece is a testament to the American dream that so many people from around the world have come to North Carolina seeking to find.”
