Twilight Play Under the Flight Path

"Artist Statement: Set against the golden haze of evening, this mural captures a moment of joy and defiance in the shadow of progress. Inspired by a lone home that stood its ground against airport expansion, the scene blends memory and motion-where children play under low-flying jets, and one house remains, quietly holding its place in a rapidly changing landscape.

Built in 1895, this cottage is now the only remaining structure in Sydenham Green, following the acquisition and demolition of 152 homes in 1995. Located next to a memorial honouring the families who lost their homes, the property owner seeks to commemorate this history through participation in the Perfect Match program. "
