We are seeds is a mural created in August 2021 by Claudia Gutierrez. In this artwork, the artist draws inspiration from the proverb: "They tried to bury us. "They didn't know we were seeds."

The mural responds to our current time of crisis during the pandemic by celebrating the restorative power of perseverance and resilience. Two nurturing hands grasp a vase with foliage abundantly growing from its top and roots breaking free from its bottom. As we cautiously look forward to a time of reactivation and regeneration, the single falling leaf reminds us of the fragility that will always persist.

Claudia Gutierrez is an Ottawa based multi disciplinary artis who specializes in painting, printmaking, and working with textiles. Gutierrez's practice explores the intersections of repetitive pattern making with chance and improvisation, and challenges the boundaries between art and craft.
