"Colorful Spark – Intersection of us!" is a live interactive artwork built by many visiting hands.
An abstract map of North Carolina and the U.S. comes alive as the audience adds vibrant, organic pigments in real time, guided by music and movement.
Each touch becomes a mark of connection—transforming the canvas into a bold, shared expression of who we are together.
