Still in Motion

The artwork Still in Motion visually explores the dynamic relationship between continuous change and steadfast community spirit. The mural celebrates the area's renewal while honoring its permanent character. It draws energy from the fast pace of Rideau Street and the city's lively arts scene, capturing the pulse of downtown with nods to cultural hubs like the National Arts Centre. The juxtaposition of a fluid dancer and delicate, moving butterflies against fixed flowers acts as a powerful contemplation on endurance and growth. Further enriching the piece are abstract local flora that reference the Tulip Festival and the ByWard Market, and ribbons that guide the viewer's eye, symbolizing both the social threads connecting the community and the winding path of the Rideau Canal.
