Description

Genesis Belanger plays with everyday park features—gardens, fountains, and civic statuary—across three sculptural vignettes. Among them are modern interpretations of the allegorical Lady Justice alongside potted fruit trees staged among their living counterparts. Belanger modeled many of the works by hand in clay before casting them in bronze and pigmented cement, using a palette that shifts from muted, fountain-mimicking tones to luscious florals. The scenes invite reflection on societal change, civic representation, and our ability to discern real from fake.
