Ça va bien aller / it will be okay
Coloured pencils and ink on paper, 2020
27.94 x 35.56 cm
The drawing Ça va bien aller / it will be okay was created in April 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the streets of Montreal, you’re likely to see images of rainbows and the phrase “ça va bien aller” in the windows of apartments and other buildings - a hopeful message to find around the city. Different versions of this display have been happening all around the world. This work is in reaction to these small messages of support and the ways we are finding to communicate with each other.
