The project is a mixed-media sculpture that takes the form of what ressembles a terrarium. Enclosing the interior ecosystem is a transparent acrylic briefcase, complete with handle and gold-coloured metal latches. Inside the case, lives a world narrating my experiences living with chronic pain.

Wild fires

This photograph is taken from Faloma Beach in Falcon Lake, Manitoba. A forest of pine and birch trees line the bottom of the photograph, and three partially hidden homes are noticeable amongst the tree trunks. A “water bomber” airplane is flying above the treeline and towards a large plume of grey smoke. The smoke rises high above the landscape, blending with the fluffy white clouds that stretch across a bright blue summer sky.
