Gallery Exhibition

Upcoming Exhibition

Opening reception: Thursday, March 5, 6–8 p.m.

The Ferry Building Gallery is pleased to present the annual poster exhibition featuring second-year students from Capilano University’s IDEA School of Design.

This year, the IDEA class of ’28 turns its focus to Canada as a site of inquiry, imagination, and critical reflection. Through graphic design, illustration, and visual storytelling, students explore what Canada means today—examining place, identity, history, culture, and contradiction.

The IDEA School of Design offers a four-year Bachelor of Design in Visual Communications, with concentrations in branding, illustration, and interactive design. Students engage with contemporary visual communication practices while developing the ability to identify and solve communication challenges through original and creative design thinking.

Artist Statement

In my artwork, the boundary between nature and human-made structures is blurred. Shapes, colours, and rhythmic lines reflect my perception of the hidden harmony between the natural world and human creations. Trees, cities, and buildings serve as symbols of life, growth, and humanity’s presence in the world.

Through abstract compositions, I aim to explore beauty not through exact representation, but through emotion, movement, and the relationships between forms. Each piece invites viewers to see the world anew—from a perspective that lies between imagination and reality.
