Cheryl Pagurek, Navigate, ByWard Pedestrian Zone, 11 – 60 George

To bypass implies navigation. The Navigate installation features a projection to create an expansive environment of people navigating urban space. It intertwines narratives of human journeys with those of travelling waters in a vivid expression of colour, energy, and movement. Animated figures of swirling water portray an ongoing flow of humanity, a testament to both constant change and continued endurance. A wide range of emotions is conveyed by the fluctuating water, and through the posture and movements of the individuals of all ages, from youth to elderly. A layered ambient soundtrack envelopes viewers, evoking the undulations of water and the rhythms of walking. By marrying ripples of water with human movement, Navigate invites viewers to embrace the flux of our experience, as we navigate through space and time.
