Ghost encampments

26 x 26 x 39” — 2024




In August 2021, police in Halifax, Nova Scotia, dismantled multiple homeless encampments across the city. The police confronted a crowd of protesters and arrested numerous individuals. Like other similar events in Canada, this one left behind corpses of makeshift shelters. GHOST ENCAMPMENTS is made up of the poles of different tents, broken or abandoned. This project is a reminder of these habitations which have been the “home” of many.
