Croix en néon. Un mot croisé des mots Van et East utilisant la lettre commune «A»
East Van
Crée des références et des associations multiples, y compris une connotation religieuse et irrévérencieuse laquelle peut être interprétée comme une affirmation de l'identité propre de ces quartiers Est de Vancouver
Dimensions:
“[The crossword] signifies the identity of those living in the Eastern part of the city and is often accompanied with the word “rules”. [This] is ironic, as traditionally those in the West of the city have held the economic and political power, though the real estate boom more recently has rendered the boundary between East and West more fluid. The piece monumentalizes a rearguard gesture of defiance, protest, and assertion of identity.”
