The Flow of the Tiger Installation

This project is part of I HeART Main Street, a program supporting Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) with the support they need to activate their main streets through public art and placemaking. This program engages BIAs, local artists and businesses across Ontario to create more vibrant and safe communities.

Project Type: Temporary Exhibit

Artist: Justine Wong

Artist Statement: ‘The Flow of the Tiger’ activation is a celebration of the Water Tiger, which depicts a strong and robust tiger entering into cascading spring water. The animal is made up of a woven tapestry of rich patterned papers, each representing various elements like strength and perseverance. As we move into a new year, the tiger offers the community of Chinatown the ability to flow through challenges and move towards greater abundance.
