Chrysalis at Surrey Central SkyTrain Station

The City of Surrey, in partnership with TransLink, received submissions from 29 artists for a temporary mural to surround the construction hoarding of Surrey Central SkyTrain Station while TransLink upgrades the station. Applicants were asked to draw inspiration from the theme Connecting People, Connecting Places . This detail is from the winning design by Thomas Nelles, a Surrey artist. Butterflies overlay images of Surrey’s buildings to symbolize the city’s transformation from its agricultural past to its urban present and its goals for a sustainable future.
