CANADA GOOSE
Up North
‘If my heart were a compass, you’d be North.’
It’s the place people go to escape,
A place made of cabins, pine trees, and lakes
But no matter how far you drive
There’s no sign to say ‘you’ve arrived’
So just follow your heart till you find…
Your special place that brings peace of mind
As you breathe in the air and unwind…
Your cares are all left behind
It’s no mystery where the north woods start
When you arrive Up North you’ll know
In your heart.
Up North
Suzanne Kindler
Like a compass needle, there has always been a mesmerizing attraction towards the peaceful, serene, calm, and quiet environment of the man towards the north. Whenever one travels inside their soul and then back to the exterior context, the compass will always guide them towards the north. ‘Open’ becomes a state of awareness, care, and willingness to live and be part of a better world, closer to our human nature, filled with unique experiences. The installation is inspired by the mesmerizing environment of the frozen lakes and glaciers from the northern nature, reinterpreting this natural shape of the north, the place where all compasses and all the roads guide us, and where the heart feels free, connected with nature.
