“Ember” was created with an intention to illustrate a brave entrance into a new year, and new space that we cannot quite see yet. What the Lunar New Year represents for me is a time to reflect upon myself, my qualities and what I want to build towards in the future. With the year of the fire horse approaching, I wanted to capture the brightness and boldness of the element of fire, as even a small ember can cut through the darkness around it.

The Lantern City is grateful to be held on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). We acknowledge our privilege to be gathered on this land, and commit to work with and be respectful to the Indigenous peoples whose arts and stories inspire us to bring communities together.
