Phase 2: Beextinction

Primary artists: Erika Yuen, Angela Huo, Lala Leung

Dimensions: 8’ X 22’11”

In collaboration with City of Markham, Ledgemark Homes and peer artists, property developers from The Hart Haus Condominiums in Unionville commissioned Erika and her Arts Unionville class to design a 8’ X 110’ feet mural promoting environmental sustainability in Main Street Unionville. Erika and her team highlighted the rising issue of bee extinction due to climate change, and designed the 8’ X22’11” mural to attract the community. Embedded with resourceful QR codes, the mural is an interactive and social media worthy design that promotes educational awareness, and encourages one to take initiatives to reducing their ecological footprint.
