🌷🗡️Petals and Thorns by artist Kayla Buium is more than just a beautiful mural—it’s filled with symbolism that reflects both the joy and complexity of the sapphic experience.

From subtle everyday queer symbols to a striking floral portrait, every detail has a story to tell. But there’s much more to discover than meets the eye.

🤩Want to learn what inspired this artwork and uncover the meaning behind its hidden details? Join us for our FREE Davie Village Walking Tour this Saturday, July 18 at 11:30 AM!

Please join us in welcoming our newest team member, Constanza Martin, who is leading our Denman Laneway Mural Tour! 🤩🥳

Constanza is a Chilean fashion and documentary photographer and multimedia designer based in Vancouver, Canada. She mainly focuses on arts education, film and experimental photography and community-centered art projects.

Her connection to the arts has shaped her since childhood, from dancing ballet at the age of five, to painting with oils alongside her grandmother. Today, she continues to explore photography and design, and has found great purpose in organizing artistic projects, conceptualizing ideas, and iterating creatively until they come to life.

She works with “outdated” photography techniques, such as film and chemical sunlight printing, to share her vision of the world: A vulnerable, slow, intimate and colorful space to create and feel everything.

Constanza shares: “I believe the arts are a fundamental pillar of any society: one that must be democratized, protected, and shared with as many people as possible.”

We’re thrilled to have her join our team of passionate tour guides. 🥳🙌🏼
