Acorn - Oakville Community





A digital diptych for the Town of Oakville and their event, “Connextions” that coincided with Ontario’s Culture Days for 2022.
This was a temporary public artwork that was printed on vinyl for the windows at Trafalgar Park Community Centre. 

Through repetition of bright colours and shapes, the diptych on this community centre expresses the positive ongoing relationships of people with one another and its surrounding nature. Connecting the activities found in the community centre through circular motifs, the left image creates a rhythmic tie of the diverse community found in the neighbourhood.

The right image reflects this rhythm, and alludes the shapes as acorns - the connection between one another becomes a growing seed. While acknowledging the vast nature surrounding the environment of the town, the artwork portrays the communication and collaboration of the community and how it takes all to start growing a tree.
