The installations are built with red string, which represents the colour of blood, passion and anger and is also meant to represent the connection between people and the environment.

According to the event page, the art illustrates “the temporary nature of our lives and promotes discussion about truth and reconciliation and decolonizing public spaces in Canada.”
