Digital Illustration or Animation
Living the Zoom Life
Celina Zhong | Capilano University
This past year or so has been lonely and anxiety-inducing, challenging us all to adapt to drastic changes and many Zoom calls. However arduous it has been, we have found ways to cope and reconnect.
Printmaking
Overgrowth
Emma Sun | Capilano University
Engraved on copper plating, each shade is individually treated to be printed on rag paper through a printing press.
Drawing
HOPE
Jingwen (Pino) Cao | Sheridan College
This piece of art work uses color pencil to catch the natural beauty of the fox and appeal for animal protection. Through the fox’s eyes, I hope people can see hope, wishes, love and peace.
Photography

Matthew Parr | Fanshawe College of Applied Arts and Technology
The remnants of a structure that lays dormant between a non-populated beach and the vast lake.

Suffering

Suffering in watercolour, gouache, Prismacolours and some gel medium. This is a portrait of someone who is facing challenges head on. It implies pain but also courage and resilience.
