Toronto among a family of grizzlies

  • What happened to Toronto?
    Maybe it went back to its roots.
    Nestled in the warm, massive fur of a grizzly family, the city is no longer a grid of glass and steel — but an animal memory shelter. Roads climb the father bear’s shoulders, skyscrapers poke from the uncle bear’s ears, and the mother bear’s belly glows with urban lights like surviving stars.

    A soft yet powerful allegory:
    the metropolis doesn’t vanish, it retreats into the slow heartbeat of ancient creatures.
    A wild family that welcomes concrete and turns it into dream.
    Toronto hasn’t disappeared. It’s become fur, breath, den.

    This series symbolically and surreally explores the cohabitation of animals with an urban landscape. Here the ecological approach that distinguishes human/nature relationship is central by inviting us to perceive the earth as a living entity, as a large garden in which all the ignored fragments of the landscape offer us opportunities for regeneration. This was inspired by Gilles Clément's concept of "Third Landscape." All works are signed and certified.
