Commuters along Whitemud Drive can now spot a striking new addition to the city’s public art landscape: a vibrant floral artwork climbing along the exterior of the Gerry Wright Operations and Maintenance Facility. Created by Toronto-based Afghan-Canadian artist Shaheer Zazai, In Community We Grow depicts a pixelated vine system with flowers in different stages of bloom. The pixelated floral design symbolizes growth, unity, and resilience, forming a dynamic visual story about interconnectedness and the relationships that help communities flourish.
To explore the inspiration behind In Community We Grow, we spoke with artist Shaheer Zazai about how the project evolved from his usual studio practice, and how the artwork explores transit's role in supporting movement, connection, and collective growth.
