From Little Acorns (2025) shines inside the Raleigh Union Bus Station as a glowing landmark for the “City of Oaks.” Standing over 10 feet tall, this stainless-steel acorn with an illuminated core reflects Raleigh’s spirit of growth, potential, and transformation.

By day, its polished steel mirrors the bustling hub around it; by night, it glows as a welcoming beacon for travelers and the community. With shifting LED light cycles, every visit offers a new, colorful experience.

The laser-cut, stainless steel giant took months to finish and weighs over 900 lbs.
