Monster ; Mǫǫ̀ (2022)

Location: 1540 Bloor St. W. (NW Corner of Dundas W)

Capitalist greed personified, the giant human-like figure sits perched on a yet-to-be-developed condo—a fixture of the classed, racialized housing market. Slightly agitated, always aware, and constantly watching, it surveils you with CCTV cameras for eyes and limbs. Wearing a businessman’s suit, the monster seeks to displaces people, families, and entire communities.

To create with unrestricted freedom. To make the unrealistic a reality. To imagine environments unbound by the laws of physics. To imagine our people and stories in the future.
