Aaron Barcant

I am an international student from Trinidad, at Concordia University. I do not believe in confinement to disciplines (or static identities), as my learning and study focus reflect in every way. I am particularly interested in language due to its central relationship to identity, epistemology, and ontology. This is heightened further when it comes to the question of organization in ascribing active – conscious – resistance and expression.

This painting is about history and the weight of the legacy we are struggling under. We cannot escape the atrocities that have happened on this earth – to the land, to the animals and to each other.
