Two new abstract window vinyl murals by artist Britt Flood have been installed at One Exchange Plaza on Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh. The works, titled “THE WAVE,” are intended to capture themes of creativity, pause, and return.
Flood described the inspiration behind the murals: “the roaring exhale of relief that comes with returning to something you love … the quiet power of creative homecoming. The pause wasn’t empty, it was waiting.”
The addition brings more color and visual interest to Fayetteville Street, providing a space for reflection and inspiration for those passing through the area.

Established in 2022, UPG aims to accelerate project implementation through collaboration across city departments and partnerships with external groups. The group uses economic, policy, real estate, and design strategies to promote prosperity and equity throughout Raleigh.
