Toque Ltd highlights some of Uptown's small joys ✨
Which is your favourite? 😋

Five kitchens. Four countries. One stroll in Uptown Waterloo. Proof that some of life's simplest pleasures arrive on a single plate (or in a brightly-coloured pizza box) and require a passport in spirit only.

Meet Corey Jaguar Head, the artist behind the colourful new installations at Waterloo Public Square. ❤️

“Harmony in Motion through Living Rhythms”

Before this transformation, these boxes were purely functional, sterile steel fixtures sitting in plain sight, acting as visual distractions in an otherwise vibrant public space. They were practically screaming to be turned into fun, engaging, and energizing public artwork.

By replacing cold metal with bright, lively compositions, this installation adds colour, movement, and joy to the streetscape for visitors of all ages.

The designs for this project are focused on expressing and celebrating the interconnections of music, dance, nature and community… all aspects which are found within the Uptown Waterloo Square, showcased within events and throughout the surrounding Waterloo region.

Nature is moving, vibrating and thriving alongside us in a symbiotic manner through the music of life. The 'Enlightened Flowers' featured throughout this series are symbols of nature's consciousness and how nature is in tune with us and the universe.

We are all one.

📍Next time you're in Uptown Waterloo, stop by Waterloo Public Square and take a look at Corey’s work in person.
