The painting is based on a real confrontation provoked by chainsaw wielding Proud Boys in a Toronto park. Strategically executed bullet holes pierce the canvas creating a tension between creation and destruction and ask the viewer to confront ideas surrounding the normalization and glorification of violence in contemporary culture.
