Ren's Pets
Installation Concept
A country or region’s culture is often shaped by its arts and sports. Sports, in particular, become part of our identity—whether it’s through the games we play or the teams and players we support.They spark so many of our conversations: Who’s playing? What’s the score? Who’s your favourite? In India, cricket is a national passion. In Canada, baseball holds a similar place in the cultural imagination. This mural brings these games together in a vibrant East-meets-West design, blending cricket and baseball to reflect the cultural backgrounds of the artists behind this piece.
