Screaming over Florence, 2021
Urla by Kinkaleri
I’m a landscape architect from Toronto and have lived and worked in Canada and the US. I spent several years during the pandemic on sabbatical, traveling through Europe, Asia and the South Pacific and now based in Vienna, Austria. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to observe in situ how culture shapes our landscapes in the Americas and Eurasia. In South Korea, a ‘Box of Missing Memories’ awaited my arrival. I’ve been trying to make sense of it ever since.

Practicing landscape architecture in acknowledgement of settler colonialism that continues on these lands:
Toronto, the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 (1805) with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
Atlanta, the traditional territory of the Muscogee Creek people and home to diverse Indigenous peoples. Atlanta is covered by the First Treaty of Indian Springs (1821) / Cession 116 (bounded by Hightower/Etowah Trail, Chattahoochee River, Ocmulgee River and Flint River).
