Connecting with Nature


The inspiration for this mural is the feeling I experience whenever I’m in nature which is being part of everything, realizing how a tree or a flower is not different from me because we are all part of the earth. Connecting with nature is about us listening, appreciating and respecting the natural areas we live in, by being more friendly with the earth and every species. I believe it will help us be happier humans. The fox, a spirit animal, invites us to be guided by our wisdom and intuition and listen to our hearts during unprecedented times. Let’s apply this teaching to our lives now more than ever when our world needs it the most, let’s be guided by our hearts which hold the truth of our existence, love, and connection.

"The mural is a celebration of Mississauga’s nature… it’s about sharing what I want to tell the public, which is to appreciate nature and to be more friendly with the environment."
