By separating one artwork into 24 pieces and spreading them across the city of Ottawa, we are not only celebrating the power of art to inspire and uplift, but also fostering a sense of unity and connection within our community. In a world that often feels divided, these fragments of creativity remind us that we are all part of something greater – a city, a culture, a shared humanity. So let us embrace the beauty that surrounds us, and let it guide us towards a brighter, more inspired future.

The Concept
The idea is simple yet profound: take one piece of art and break it down into 24 smaller fragments. These fragments, when pieced together, form a cohesive whole, much like the diverse neighborhoods that make up the city of Ottawa. Each piece of art will be strategically placed in different locations, from bustling urban streets to tranquil parks, inviting passersby to pause and reflect.
The Artwork
The chosen artwork should be something that resonates deeply with the essence of Ottawa – its history, its people, its spirit. It could be a painting, a sculpture, or even a digital creation, but whatever form it takes, it should evoke a sense of wonder and inspiration. Perhaps it depicts the iconic Parliament Hill, the serene Rideau Canal, or the vibrant ByWard Market – whatever it is, it should capture the heart and soul of Ottawa.
The Quotes
Alongside each fragment of art will be an inspirational quote, carefully selected to complement the message conveyed by the artwork. These quotes could be sourced from literature, poetry, or even from the voices of Ottawa’s own residents. They should uplift, motivate, and stir the imagination, encouraging viewers to see the world through a different lens.
The Experience
As people stumble upon these scattered pieces of art throughout the city, they will be invited to participate in a collective experience of discovery and reflection. Some may stumble upon a fragment during their daily commute, while others may actively seek out these hidden treasures. Regardless of how they are found, each encounter will be a moment of connection – with the art, with the city, and with oneself.
