Georgian Bay Evergreen

Aluminum embossing, 2016, 12"w x 23.5"h x 1.5"d

As a new Mexican-Canadian citizen, I wanted to discover parts of Canada by spending my summer months in northern Ontario, and this experience inspired me to reflect on nature and create landscapes. The vast rugged terrain has influenced my developing artistic picture of nature, and the evergreen tree symbolizes part of Canada’s landscape. In addition, one of the most significant rock formations in Canada’s landscape is granite. Combining these two natural elements allows me to create a modern art piece embossed on aluminum.
