Proposal Summary
With this cross-cultural collaborative project, I will create a large scale free-standing transparent mosaic in the shape of the forest canopy. Each tree will be made of many images that people have submitted or created with their own personal interpretation of “Reconciliation” through social media or artistic sessions. Archival images from the residential school era will also be incorporated into this digitally interactive piece. For creators of this cross-cultural mosaic, it offers a chance to visually add their voice to the honest dialogue around reconciliation while creating a permanent snapshot of our collective consciousness around this important issue.
