Inspired by river currents and the energetic crisscrossing of river, railroad, trails, roads, bridges, and ramps, Convergence is a mural meditation on the Schuylkill River. At close to 7,500 square feet, this work of public art is local artist Rebecca Rutstein’s first mural project. Rutstein is known for her work at the intersection of art, science, and technology, and has combined these into one vibrant, geometric design on a building belonging to technology and entertainment company AT&T, soaring above the popular Schuylkill Banks multi-use trail to evoke reflections of light on water, aerial maps, tectonic processes, and connective pathways.
