Miss North Carolina
A tip of the hat to the brothers of flight, the Wright Brothers, who made the first controlled powered airplane flights a few miles outside of the town Kitty Hawk at Kill Devil Hills. One of the brothers was always seen wearing a bowler hat, which can be seen in Lachlan's hands. Behind her, onlookers witness one of the Wright Brothers' famous flights. Below the horizon line is a green polka dot pattern that adorns every Krispy Kreme box of donuts - the donut shop was founded in Winston-Salem in 1937. A cigarette effortlessly dangles from her lips, hinting at the agricultural history and importance of the tobacco industry in North Carolina. The Tarheels color palette dominates the piece.
