Atlanta-based muralist and fine artist Eric Nine has unveiled his latest creation, “The Space Between Us,” a painted bench on Fayetteville’s Courthouse Square as part of the City’s downtown art initiative. The abstract piece was inspired by the way ancient communities gathered around fire, using that shared space as a symbol for conversation, relationships, and the invisible connections between people.
