Racism is a Pandemic Too

Maya Hum’s signature style, an immersive balance of reality and imagination, is prominent. The design features a colorful, abstracted garden where the portrait of a Black woman is integrated with blossoms. This fusion visually represents the artist's inspiration: conserving the well-being of others and the environment. As essential public art in Ottawa, it serves as a daily, visible reminder to the community to actively address racism and celebrate diverse identities.
