Soil
This work is done in Brampton. Though abstract in representation, it reflects the subconscious effect of ongoing constant transformation of the city from open lands transforming into the human habitats of houses and skyscrapers.
The sweeps of colours represent speed and rapid transformation of the city as the land and water sources are transformed in order for various communities to come together and live. However, such change is not limited to physical reality; it is also mental.
