<div>This was part of the 2019 Vancouver Mural Festival. To the event's website, the artist stated that "this artwork conveys an idea about freedom. As in an illusion, this person leaves an interior to breathe the air from the outside. The sunlight appears on his face. It is an instant in time invoking a moment of reflection".</div>

Cathy High

<div>Cathy High wanted to use the exterior wall to bring some love and playfulness into people’s lives. “I hope people can appreciate the timeless quality of First Nations’ art and take an interest in what inspired the original totem pole to be carved,” High says, referencing the image of the Kakaso’Las totem pole carved by Ellen Neel for Woodward’s in 1955 (now displayed in Stanley Park). “I was drawn to the prominence of women in Indigenous art; this image is of a Dzunukwa, the Wild Woman of the Woods. The original painting is called Kiss and I wanted it to be an expression of how I saw those legendary creatures on the totem poles.” - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cathyhighliving/">Cathy High</a>&nbsp;</div>

<div>James Knight (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/fourhundredml/">Fourhundredml</a>) and Ilya Viryachev (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/godzilya/">Godzilya</a>) were lucky to be part of the inaugural <a href="http://www.vancouvermuralfestival.com/">Vancouver Mural Festival</a> in the Summer of 2016. The wall presented an interesting challenge, and the artists used its layout to support the playfulness of our composition. Using the themes of youth, discovery, and exploration as their main inspiration, they naturally developed the visuals for this mural. After having arranged a photoshoot in their friend's backyard with his kids, whatever was left undecided quickly fell into place. Having real life experiences guide them throughout the design felt really refreshing, and both James and Ilya embraced the experience.</div>
