Fall 2023 - Spring 2024: Public Art Outdoor Photography Exhibit in Ed Broadbent Park, Oshawa, with additional images here online.
“Port of Prosper” explores the industrial side of Oshawa’s waterfront. Focusing in on the active port and former harbour grounds, this photo-based work highlights a part of Oshawa that is historic and current, yet seemingly overlooked.
Oshawa is a city of industrial transportation that remains humble. Our port supplies salt and steel products, along with sugar, asphalt and grain by importing and exporting shipments from international waters and serving the greater Toronto area. As a historically blue-collar town, this sector of the city is another industrial piece of our identity.

This project aims to bring the inside of our industrial port into a public space through images created with a documentary and fine art approach. This work further highlights the former harbour grounds consumed by the environment alongside the committed port workers. With a mix of industrial landscapes, portraits and nods to nature, these images explore our port from an intimate perspective, driven by curiosity and created in admiration of the ongoing resiliency.
The images displayed here are a longer curation of the project. Installation photos of the Public Art Exhibit can be found below under ‘exhibit’.
