  • Pigeons

    Created with Steps Initiative, an aerosol mural on corrugation featuring two pigeon heads. Located at Stackt Market, painted by FatsPatrol, 2019.

  • Subconscious Radio

    This design is inspired by the feeling of lying down and trying to meditate. Sometimes I’m able to be conscious of different thoughts and let them float by and disperse. Sometimes I notice myself disassociating a little, where I go off into my imagination and thoughts so much that I’m no longer very present. Sometimes I can jump onto different clouds of thoughts consciously, other times they just grab me and suck me in. When I’m painting or sketching out ideas, I’m in that kind of happy medium where I can stay present enough to get down ideas, and I’m also connected to my imagination but not totally lost in it. That is one of the sweet spots of feeling like I’m tuned into my subconscious radio.

  • Why can’t they see us?

    A community partnership project between Van Mural Fest, the Centre for Comparative Muslim Studies and artist Doaa Jamal, the mural is Arabic square Kufic script illustrating a verse from the Qur’an:
    “We have created you from male and female and we made you into tribes and nations that you may know each other” (49:13).
    The piece was made by community members who gathered to tape the stencil, paint, and share feedback. Jamal wanted to create a design that encapsulates the diversity of Muslims in Vancouver, and speaks to the burdens minorities and immigrants face when navigating cultural and identity differences.

  • Residential School Children Tribute

    Double sided planter mural as tribute to residential school children. Features a boy and girl in residential school uniform and cut hair.
