The mural anchors its narrative in the grit of the past. It depicts figures from the Prohibition Era standing amidst contemporary symbols like the stop sign. This juxtaposition creates a bridge between historical tensions and modern urban reality. Both artists bring their experience from previous Gatineau Culture Trail contributions and the Traces project to this massive undertaking. The result is a chaotic yet cohesive mural that defines the current aesthetic of the district.
