The installation parallels a misleading advertisement that sells us what we want to hear - in this case the Canadian breakfast myth of getting a cottage up north. However, this cottage ( and by extension nature) are presented as sentimental projections that ultimately prevent us from really seeing what we are up against. I thought I needed a shock element to make a crueller point about endangerment and ultimately extinction so I went back and made the alterations below.
