Project Description Triplett conducted workshops with NCCU art students to develop her plans for the artwork. They discussed abstraction and ways to represent the themes of collegiate life in the artwork. Using these ideas as inspiration, Triplett is creating low relief wall tiles for the building's two interior lobbies as well as tiles for planters and seating in the two exterior courtyards.
