As an Indigenous artist, I seek to honor my cultural heritage through my creative works. "Wāpikwanīya (Flowers)" is a digital illustration that features an arrangement of wāpikwanīya or flowers positioned at the base of the composition, set against a backdrop of tall prairie grass and sky. Through this piece, I pay homage to the floral designs present in traditional Métis beadwork, an art form that holds significant cultural importance in my community as a Métis and Cree artist. I aim to celebrate the beauty and richness of nature and to draw attention to the intricate patterns and details that can be found within it. My hope is that this artwork resonates with viewers and inspires them to appreciate the beauty of the natural world and the cultural traditions that enrich our lives.
