Wild Licorice (A Celebration of Plants: Rooted in Community)

The West Hillhurst Utility Box Project is an ongoing effort to realize visual medicine in public spaces. Growing out of the Rooted in Community Project from 2022-2023, the Utility Box Project transformed five boxes between 2024-2025 into colourful artworks, celebrating five native plant species. These works remind us of our connection to the plant beings that share our world, celebrating them as equal members of our community.
