Warm, sunny hues and cool, icy blues come together to represent our city’s changing seasons. Frosty undulating waves pull warmth in like the warm winds that are so familiar to us during our winter season. Plunge is about change. Plunging into uncharted territory is something we have done many times during the Covid-19 pandemic. As our seasons change, so do we. Dipping temperatures are followed by days that feel like spring. This reminds us that even at the most frigid times, something new and bright is on the horizon.
The installation featured a one-weekend balloon pop-up called "Winter Whirly" from Calgary Party 50 on February 11-14, 2022.
It also featured a floral pop-up called "Boreas" from Fox Glove Studio on February 25-27th, 2022.
