In celebration of Pride, Paddy Leung was commissioned to create a whimsical mixed media mural for OCAD University’s office hallway. Inspired by the quote, “The practice of love is the most powerful antidote to the politics of domination” by Bell Hooks, the work incorporates party decorations, hand-cut paper, and sticky foam to bring brightness, joy, and a playful spirit into the space. The mural reflects Paddy’s practice of combining material experimentation with uplifting, community-focused theme
