This work is part of the Migrating Landscapes project, which was Canada’s entry to the 2012 Venice Biennale. The model embodies a specific moment when two imaginary landscapes merge as a result of a individual’s migration, thus eliciting deep emotions. These emotions were captured in a sculptural form and thus symbolize the first home in Canada of its author.
Merging Landscapes was exhibited in Canada and at the Canadian Pavilion in Venice as a result of an extensive three-phase competition that took place across the country.
