My most recent mural, located in Hintonburg, Ottawa is all about balance. The neighbourhood has a working class history, but in recent years has seen much growth and change, and has come to be known as one of Ottawa’s most interesting, culture-filled hotspots. I wanted to reference this history and current state of growth in a subtle way, and chose to symbolize the two aspects via the objects the figure is holding. It can be seen as the past in one hand, and the present/future in the other.
