Building Futures is a series of installation artworks that deal with the concept of sustainability. The Table conveys different facets of sustainability knowledge in an approachable, exploratory manner. It demonstrates the need for humans to be intentional and active in making decisions about the future of the Okanagan. The Bike suggests that the "default" path for humanity, as it has been going throughout modern history, will ultimately lead to un-sustainability unless we take action to change our habits and mindsets. In this work we focus on changing our ideas around transportation and propose alternative ways to travel around urban environments rather than relying on one car per person.
