About the Art
This is a love letter to community life, interconnection, and the small wonders that root us. Inspired by the story of Joel Weeks and the revitalization of the park in his name, this work transforms memory into a vibrant ecosystem where joy, growth, and care thrive. A basketball eclipses the moon, fireflies float into constellations, and gardens bloom with life, both human and more-than-human. It is a place of play, rest, stewardship, and remembrance. Through bold colour and lyrical imagery, the mural invites viewers to imagine what’s possible when we tend to one another in public space.
