ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

The collage called “Nature Trails” was created from photographs taken this summer as Adil explored trails in Ottawa and Collingwood with my family. Despite the stresses of the pandemic, the natural beauty around us was a source of comfort and inspired hope. The water moved peacefully through the rocks and the trees provided ample shade from the heat when needed. The piece is meant to reflect hope for a more peaceful and brighter future ahead.
