True North: The Eternal Symbols of Canada’s Soul
Medium: Laser-engraved illustration on natural maple wood
Dimensions: 12 inches x 18 inches
Year: 2025
This chapter of the Eternal Symbols collection honours six cultural icons who didn’t just define a country—they shaped its soul through courage, music, poetry, and relentless authenticity.
Each portrait is laser-engraved with reverence and rawness, framed by hand-drawn symbols unique to their stories: maple leaves, guitars, boots, crosses, rivers, stars, lyrics, and silence. This isn’t nostalgia—it’s a living archive, burned into wood like memory into heartgrain.
Terry Fox, Gordon Lightfoot, Stompin’ Tom Connors, Gord Downie, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen.
Together, these seven icons stand as monuments—not of marble, but of meaning. They are eternal not because they asked to be, but because their stories, their songs, and their spirits live in the cracks between words, chords, and footsteps.
