CHAPEL HILL, NC - October 8, 2024 - Gabriel Eng-Goetz just completed a mural, "O Lófos," on the parking deck at 900 Willow in Chapel Hill, NC. This work of art was commissioned by Ram in partnership with the Town of Chapel Hill's Community Arts & Culture division.
Artist Statement "My design celebrates Chapel Hill as a historic town steeped in world-class education and multiculturalism. Gathering inspiration from the Town’s official seal/logo and from traditional textile patterns from around the world, the artwork dives deep into history to tell a story of global teachings, learnings and wisdom. Adopted in the 1930s, the town seal depicts the Greek goddess, Athena. The Town of Chapel Hill states, 'Perhaps it was the wisdom of an earlier age, steeped in the classics, that led early town leaders to pick the Goddess of Wisdom to symbolize Chapel Hill. Athena remains a symbol of civilization, useful knowledge, noble reasoning, logic and wisdom. And she is mentioned often as a civic god. Recognized as a unique college community shaped by youth, intellect and idealism, Chapel Hill likened itself to the Acropolis hill in Athens.' Combining Greek mythology with ancient patterns from across the globe, my hope is to inspire visitors, residents and patrons to experience the many cultural perspectives that Chapel Hill has to offer and reflect on how they have shaped society today."
