Commissioned by the City of Adelaide and delivered by Guildhouse, the new public mural followed industry best practices through an expression of interest process. The goal was to select a South Australian artist who could create a visually striking and engaging community art piece to captivate passersby.

The artwork was launched on 10th April 2025 in an event attended by the artist, City of Adelaide, Guildhouse and industry peers.

The artwork is located on the north wall of the centre, on the corner of O’Connell and Chapel Streets.

Make sure to have a look next time you’re visiting the centre!

Artwork and Artist

….and the roots run deep while the windows whisper invites curiosity and discovery, blending North Adelaide’s architecture with the Parklands native flora. Inspired by shifting perspectives, this mural connects nature, history, and community. It reminds us to look closer — where windows whisper, trees speak, and stories unfold. 

Sair Bean is a cross-disciplinary artist with an interest in social commentary. She enjoys pulling back the layers of societal conditioning to create art that is optimistic, empathetic, and curious about culture, history, and identity. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant tapestry of community stories, cultures, and shared experiences, Sair Bean’s work is an exploration of connection, an invitation for people to see themselves within the collective narrative.

Native flora weaves throughout the mural, reflecting the biodiversity of the surrounding parklands, including Pirltawardli (Possum Park). A central Karra (river red gum) symbolises North Adelaide’s layered history, its deep roots representing Kaurna and colonial narratives, while its branches intertwine with culturally significant native plants. These botanical elements acknowledge traditional Kaurna knowledge, incorporating insights shared by Kaurna and Narungga man Jack Buckskin and the Knowledge Project.
