Artwork description

King’s work juxtaposes techniques (photography and painting) that blur its reading. Quand fleurit l’espoir is composed of two photographs of different sizes that reconstruct a single environment, a single scene.

A springtime landscape inspired by the geographic and socio-cultural characteristics of the borough takes shape: the stretch of water evokes Rivière des Prairies, the blossoming flowers are a metaphor for development of this community, and the butterflies fluttering around the bush convey the effervescence of transformation.
