Inspired by the ancestral traditions of harvesting crops like the wapato—a vital root crop for the Secwépemc people in the Shuswap area—this work reflects on the intersections between cultural heritage and environmental change. It invites reflection on how these vital elements have shifted over time, shaping the natural and human landscapes.
"An Autumn Harvest" offers a dual experience: a visual feast of nature's palette and a deeper contemplation of the cultural and historical narratives intertwined with the land. It is both a celebration of nature's harvest and a call to reconsider our relationship with the environment, lingering long in the memory as a gentle, poignant reminder of the beauty and fragility of our world.
