Edgewood Embers is an immersive digital sanctuary at the "Ancestors are Watching" mural on the Atlanta Beltline. Set to a custom, heart-rate-lowering 60 BPM lo-fi hip-hop gospel and Latin conga track, visitors can permanently immortalize their ancestors' names into a glowing digital constellation.
Featuring the front "World Cypher" detailed with intricate Celtic knots, Japanese waves, Adinkra symbols, and custom World Cup flag tuning pegs.
The premium mahogany backplate highlights beautifully engraved woodblock relief portraits of Black women intertwined with striking interlocking ancestral calligraphy.
Showcasing deep cultural carvings of legendary local Atlanta landmarks, and prominent portraits of Jovita Moore and Grace Towns Hamilton flanking a historic microphone.
Its industrial backplate medallions represent Aerospace, Logistics, FinTech, and HBCU graduation stoles seamlessly connected by carved audio cables.
"My piece, Edgewood Embers, is more than just an AR installation. Its a digital memorial to the heartbeat of Atlanta. I wanted to create a sanctuary for the beautiful souls we’ve lost, where their stories aren't just remembered—they’re woven into the very fabric of our city. This is my tribute to the lineage, the legacy, and the lives of those who paved the way, helping Atlanta become the city it is today."
