Portal to the Past
As you approach the construction perimeter at Atlantic Park, you are invited to step into a world that is both familiar and foreign, to experience the magic and energy of a place that is simultaneously grounded in the past and reaching towards the future.
This work of art, in its own right, pays homage to the vibrant history and unique energy that once permeated this space. As you walk along the fence, you're transported back in time to a bygone era of music and culture that defined a generation.
The fence is adorned with a series of murals, each one depicting a different musical icon who once graced the stage of the legendary Dome. Jimi Hendrix, Ray Charles, The Rolling Stones - they're all there, captured in all their glory. This was more than just a concert venue - it was a cultural hub, a place where people came to connect with each other and with something greater than themselves.
The display goes beyond a mere collection of images - it is a celebration of the future, a glimpse of what is to come. Interspersed among the historic images glimpses of Pharrell Williams emerge, a nod to his role as a visionary icon and the driving force behind the project. The infusion of his presence adds a striking contrast, a perfect encapsulation of the interplay between the energy of the past and the innovative spirit that converge in this space.
The construction fence is a reminder that even the biggest dreams start with a simple idea, with a spark of creativity and a vision for the future. As we move forward, let's hold onto that energy, let's keep the nostalgia alive, and let's keep pushing toward the beyond. Who knows what we'll find on the other side?
