Sanctuary is a nostalgic look back to when monarch butterflies were in abundance, thriving on local plants, fluttering through the air.

About this work

Sanctuary is a nostalgic look back to when monarch butterflies were in abundance, thriving on local plants, fluttering through the air. The floor of the work is covered in the empty outlines of the monarchs as a reminder of how much we've lost, and that there's still work we must do to help bring them back. Grow milkweed and nectar flowers native to Alberta, get your plants from local growers who don't spray insecticides, and lead by example. The road back for the monarchs is beautiful!
