FEATURED ARTWORKS



Picture
Joy Bajwa  |  Grade 12  |  Title: Today  |  Acrylic on canvas 
Artist's Statement: This painting was made when all the schools closed and coronavirus was only in the early stages. As more days passed, the painting became darker, and heavier, as COVID-19 got worse. Until one day it was as worse as it could get and the painting was finished.

Kyra Clegg  |  Grade 11  |  Title: Interconnected  |  Ink on paper
Artist's Statement: I wanted to make a quilt of people – to draw people close together and to incorporate patterns to show that they are connected together.

Picture
Temwani Zulu |  Grade 12  
Title: Just Be You  |  Digital photograph   
Artist's Statement: This piece is about the disconnection between people. The text on this page reads:You’re too amazing to be less than yourself. Just be you. The paper is crumpled and the text is barely readable – my artwork embodies our inabilities to be read and understood.

Elea De Torres |  Grade 11   
Title: Identification Tag  |  Ink on paper   
Artist's Statement: This piece is about labels, stigma, and categorization of people.
Picture
Luan Hong  |  Grade 12 
Title: Wondering  |  Ink on paper  
Artist's Statement: I look at other people and they are looking back at me. I wonder what they are thinking?

Adrian Lai  |  Grade 12  |  Title: Another World  |  Digitally Altered Photographs
Artist's Statement: My grandpa passed away a year ago and I have been thinking about it a lot. My days are so busy – with schoolwork, hobbies, friends – but I wonder what the experience of dying is like. What is he doing in the other world? Is he busy? Is he lonely? I made this artwork to remember him.

Title: Becoming Someone Else
Digital photograph
Artist's Statement: This is a portrait of the person I was before coming to Canada. When I was in Grade 6, I used to go to work in a factory – stitching and sewing. My father, mother and grandmother taught it to me. For my family to pay our school for our studies, we needed to earn money for me and my siblings to attend school.It was a tough time. We struggled a lot and worked a lot to get the money to buy our books and pay for our school fees. I learned so many things from the other workers, in the two hours before school and the two hours after school, when I worked. I am grateful for this experience. I loved sewing for fun, but when I was doing orders for the clients I got frustrated and couldn’t give it all my heart. I left sewing after coming to Canada – but now during this time away from school I am sewing again. Sewing masks. But now I can do it whenever I want. I have time for things I love to do.

Title: Untitled (Silence)
Digital drawing 
Artist's Statement: Inspired by the artist John Cage, I created this digital drawing after sitting in silence as long as I could bear. Silence isn’t really “nothing” – it made up of faint sounds that the brain deems as background noise. In my silence, I allowed the background noise to be at the forefront. Most of the noises I noticed were electronically made – so I chose to work digitally on this piece. This image is a record of what I heard and thought about.

Jenny Yi  |  Grade 11  |  Title: Perfect  |  Ink on paper 
Artist's Statement: I was thinking about creating a story based around the thought process when drawing a piece. It’s a way of transferring emotions that can occur during the creative process such as frustration, misery, and delight in a visual form. This piece is about how I struggle through a drawing process and how I envision overcoming those struggles at the end.

Olivia Moses  |  Grade 11  |  Title: Untitled  | Mixed Media
Artist's Statement: I was inspired by Do Ho Suh’s artwork. It’s like he’s trying to show the layers of time through his art. I created a sculpture out of old homework papers, sculpting it into a tree ring. I put a lot of time into all that homework – and I wanted to show the passage of time. Made with paper, which came from a tree and is now recycled back into a tree, this sculpture represents my persistence, strength and growth over time.

Elea De Torres |  Grade 11 |  Title: 24 Hours / 7 Days Worth of Daydreaming |  Mixed media
Artist's Statement:How have things been? It’s been a nice breather from stress. But also really boring. Ack. Everything feels surreal outside too, in a way it's kinda lonely. This moment of silence really has made me realize I took a lot of things for granted like being able to vibe outside and appreciate the fresh air, nice weather, and the fun times I had with my friends.
