Resilience – Whitney Webb

Resilience is a striking A-frame installation constructed from salvaged materials, including a reclaimed barn roof removed after flooding devastated Asheville’s River Arts District. Murals inspired by Western North Carolina’s landscapes and culture cover the exterior, symbolizing endurance and renewal. Inside, a gallery displays artwork damaged or created in response to Hurricane Helene, reflecting themes of loss, recovery, and collective strength. Serving as both art and a functional storm shelter, Resilience embodies the power of creativity to rebuild and the resilience of communities facing unexpected disaster; because Resilience isn’t just about surviving the storm—it’s about what you create from the wreckage.
