2026-03-22, Sunday morning at 1 a.m., from a fall, my wife was left bruised black and blue after an ETS bus driver accelerated abruptly from a stop. Safety on the LRT has improved somewhat since more peace and police officers were assigned, but concerns remain on the buses. Drivers sit protected behind barriers, yet people displaying violent or aggressive behaviour are still able to board without paying.

Eye on Red, Italian Coffee Pot
Mixed media, 2026
A collision of warning signals and domestic ritual, this work continues the Eye on Red series—an ongoing response to global conflict and local Indigenous realities. Daniel’s street‑corner beat threads the perimeter, his cadence tapping like a rail‑line pulse: word‑up, wake‑up, world‑on‑edge.
The feminine silhouette of the Italian coffee pot, drawn from the Birds of a Feather project, becomes a vessel for Faith, Democracy, and Nature under pressure. Around it, his lines move like breath against the metal—quick, human, unfiltered—echoing the way we steady ourselves in a city that never stops negotiating its own truths.
Layers of text, texture, and improvisation trace the tension between a world in crisis and the quiet, everyday acts that keep communities grounded. Also known as the Ukrainian Sausage, Daniel’s words don’t just decorate the edges; they frame Eye on Red series into a warning, hope and healing.
