Canada Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai
The formal and conceptual interpretation of a murmuration of birds, fossilized mid-flight, takes the form of a family of artifacts that bear witness to the accelerated extinction of threatened species. Composed of eight (8) complementary experiences, the art installation creates a sense of wonder, that provokes feelings of emotional attachment, and encourages collective and individual participation — all with the desire to humbly add our voice to the chorus of those seeking to inspire the will to act on an international scale.
Developed around the idea of the imminent disappearance of natural landscapes and living species, the artwork presents immersive and interactive experiences to emphasize the value of an inclusive, intimate and necessary dialogue between humans and nature.
