“This is to HïMY @labyrinthsdotca whom I accidentally met at Budapest Park creating his biggest ground Labyrinth in Canada (!!!).
I had noticed that and many other wading pool Labyrinths in parks around Toronto before that,
and I thought it was so cool cause every time I saw children and adults really enjoying them.
I was sure it was a City of Toronto’s project of some sort,
BUT it is not!
HïMY is doing it all on his own and hasn’t sought payment for his creations.
He spends time to carefully measure and calculate a very elaborated Labyrinth pattern,
and invests his own money in the art materials.
He worked on this one, for example, for about two years.
He puts so much thought into the way he designs his Labyrinths, and so so much passion!
Just look at HïMY’s t-shirt, and undershirt, and notebook – everything is Labyrinth 😍
And he did his research how to write it in different languages 🙂
Dear @start_streetartoronto and @stepspublicart , I think HïMY totally deserves to be on the artists roster and bring even more of his interactive and meaningful creations to animate the public spaces ❤️
P.S. did you know what is the different between a Maze and a Labyrinth?
I didn’t, and I learnt from HïMY that a Maze has dead ends, but a Labyrinth doesn’t, you will always find your way to the centre ✨”
Also a Beautiful day for a Labyrinth Walk beside Toronto’s Humber Bay Arch Bridge . . .
Grateful for your Acknowledgement.
So few photographs exist of me when making my Labyrinths,
Deeply appreciate your taking of this one and sharing it.
Thank you Antonio.
Happy Walking !
Noah,
Grateful for your kind, most kind, generous, and unexpected acknowledgement.
Thank you.
“If you’ve ever noticed the intricate beauty of a Labyrinth painted into a splash pad in a Toronto park,
Or even taken a few meditative and reflective minutes to walk its lanes,
You can thank this artist,
HiMY aka @LabyrinthsDOTca
He has made 200 of them across the city,
Unpaid and sometimes without permission.
He takes the time to learn about the people and history of the community so that he can represent them.
He returns to maintain them.
In his words,
They are an “Outstallation” for us each to experience in our own way.
They are a gift for which I am deeply thankful.”
While others walk or run behind her,
Little one feeling a little shy, opts to exit the Octagon Labyrinth . . .
A Labyrinth is as good a place as any for a turn-around when out for a bike ride . . .
Often you need many minutes to complete the entire Labyrinth Path.
Other times, like on World Labyrinth Day, you only need 6 seconds !
Sitting in the centre of the Labyrinth . . .
The Labyrinth is already fading.
I will have to repaint it after this Stay-at-Home Order ends . . .
“Splash Pad with a Heart. Lakeshore, TO
I have taken many photos on the Lakeshore in 2021.
Sometime it is good to let them lie for a while and look at them with fresh eyes.
This photo got little bit colour overhaul, but otherwise it is unaltered.
Call me Mr. Pragmatic, but I like the idea of a maze, so even when the weather is cold, the splash pad is still being used.

Rather like this perspective.
It captures my Labyrinth, hidden below Humber Bay Arch Bridge, plus Palace Pier and Palace Place cruciform condominium twin towers . . .
