Artist: Vridhhi Chaudhry
Category: Temporary Public Art Projects
Address: Main Street at Queen Street

Inspired by the Japanese tradition of paper boats and the therap​eutic nature of letter-writing, Paperboat Letters visualizes diaspora, grief and growth as coexisting forces in our healing journey. Through layered digital brushwork and a carefully chosen palette of deep greens and midnight blues, the artwork creates a meditative space that invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences with loss and renewal.
