Progression

Progression is a consciously created expression of a lived experience in a unique area of Halifax. The vibrant and rich colour playfully captures the liveliness of children having fun and staying cool from the mist of a playground sprinkler. Directly above them are the names of iconic street signs depicting locations of a wider sense of community. There is a movement of both children and adults walking through an array of sunshine brightening their path along the Maitland Street sign on a journey to a new home and happiness. However, for some it is also a homecoming with memories kindled by the historic buildings in the background. Overall the piece showcases the consideration and unique approach to respect and blend the values of the past with an investment in the future.
