In 2023, singer-songwriter Véronique Trudel and I were invited to participate in Nuit Blanche Kelowna with a collaborative installation that combined visual art, literature, and live performance. The installation consisted of multiple books — some folded, some stacked — arranged in small groupings and interspersed with origami frogs and water lily leaves. These elements formed clusters that visually suggested a creeping or vine-like plant spreading across the space.
Conceptually, the work explored the movement and transmission of stories: ideas emerging from people’s minds, entering books, and then circulating outward, multiplying as they are shared. The vine-like arrangement functioned as a metaphor for this exponential propagation of narratives across time, bodies, and communities.
