Look closely at the seam in the boardwalk and the now very faded red outline of my Heart Labyrinth I painted here reveals itself. For it to last longer, I had intended to repaint it before I left Vancouver. Aw well. Will repaint it when I get back. View this post on Instagram Falls Creek […]

Aw well.

Will repaint it when I get back.

Look closely again, and you may notice the seam of my Heart Labyrinth aligns with The ‘Finger Paint’ mural on the exterior of The Charleson tower in Downtown Vancouver.

That 416 foot tall mural was created by visual artist Elizabeth McIntosh.

In Kensington Market this past weekend and came across these labyrinths made by HiMY SYeD. ⁣ ⁣ As I learned from the artist, labyrinths were essential to ancient civilizations, the earliest ones built out of stone along the sea to capture fish as sustenance. ⁣ ⁣ To Himy, his labyrinths are a form of “urban acupuncture.” They encourage people to explore space, place, decision-making, choice, habit, and even perseverance. As some complete the path, others may cheat and break the course. It’s great that a simple urban intervention like this can create surprise, participation, and play🤸‍♂️⁣ ⁣ While a maze is meant to puzzle and confuse, the labyrinth will always lead you to its centre ❤️⁣ @pedestriansundays #toronto #kensingtonmarket #torontostreetart #chalk #urbanintervention #dontpowerwash #labyrinths

I had painted a green outline of my Robson Square Labyrinth before Ramadan began, then followed up after Ramadan by painting it blue, yellow, red and green.
