Artist Statement by Sarah Jim :
“Fireweed is a beautiful, abundant, and resilient plant that grows best after disturbance. The fluffy seeds are free to fly away and land where they're meant to be. We can learn from this plant by being open to challenges and having the freedom to choose. The moon phases emphasize the divine feminine and the cyclical nature of all things. The moon reminds us that change is constant, and phases are temporary. The fireweed flower in the centre could also be a compass rose, representing the four directions and the ubiquitous nature of this project.”
