I Am You

With the Whitemud Trailhead Building being a meeting place, the artist felt the mural needed somehow to reflect a collective identity to the community.

I Am You is a title that reinforces this theme and is a positive representation of the similarities we all share. The tumble of figurative references is a structural metaphor for how a group is made up of individuals.

Echoing the architectural friezes of historical mural facades, the image becomes a heroic emblem for the everyday person. Included are an array of archetypes that go beyond race, job, gender, age, and social status.

The artist wanted the image to celebrate everyday people, like those who will be shareholders using the building. 

To access the building, take Keillor Road through Whitemud Park.
