Abstract

This visual essay explores the intersection of walking, art-making and well-being, documented over six months of biweekly walks along the shoreline of Burrard Inlet in Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada. Engaging with the intertwined paths of movement and artistic expression, the authors delve into a reflective practice that harmonizes the act of walking with the pursuit of emotional well-being. The journey unfolds as a correspondence – with one another, with the environment, and with one’s inner selves – facilitated by the rhythmic interplay of footsteps, sketches and photographs. This evolving narrative interweaves individual experiences with collective stories, showcasing walking as an embodied practice that fosters resilience and adaptability. By immersing themselves in the shoreline’s literal and metaphorical landscape, the authors uncover a dynamic way to understand and enhance well-being, indicating a holistic strategy to navigate the complexities of life.
