Intersection Art Project - Community Light

I recently got together with the team at the New Canadian Friendship Centre which operates in northeast Calgary. They serve Immigrants through a variety of programs ranging from ESL classes, sewing groups to youth and kids programming. They even have an international cooking club!

While I met with NCFC, the overwhelming theme that kept coming up was helping newcomers to Canada not only learn language skills but to become a part of their new community and establish meaningful friendships. They welcome people from all corners of the globe and try their best offer things that focus on building relationships. 

This piece speaks to the light we all carry inside of us and how coming together from our different backgrounds can create something new and beautiful. Based on a stained glass Rose Window, the complex pattern is made up of all the individual fragments.
