Back in the summer Antoine had the pleasure to assist Axel Void, a well known artists with works around the world. His bio here. Axel was commissioned by Patro d'Ottawa to create a piece based on the drawings of children, which would be located on the side of the building. The end result of this amazing artwork was a tragic one.
A day later it was taking down by the request of city hall
Le Patro:
"The artist incorporated these (love) symbols and drawings into the silhouette of a weapon in order to render the weapon unusable, non-functional"
"It is therefore the imagination, hope, creativity and love of the children that 'destroyed' the violence, and in turn gives us hope for the future."
