The Weaving Dreamers

In a futuristic city of Toronto that dismisses "basket-weaving courses" as worthless for students, a dreamer perches on a rooftop, with discarded woven items and baskets including a violin, paint palette, astrolabe, film tape, theatre mask and folded paper airplanes carrying Doug Ford's slogans. The figure gazes upwards at faint stars, to show that young adults still reach for futures the system refuses to fund.
