Scotiabank Activation for Diwali 2023

Client — ScotiabankYear — 2023Diwali Activation

Commissioned by Scotiabank, Saphera created a 10×10 ft illustration that community members were invited to colour in together, alongside a full-colour version for reference. The illustration speaks to the importance of Diwali — the triumph of good over evil, and the sharing of our light with others. The activation was part of a larger Scotiabank-sponsored event at Shoppers World Mall in Brampton for Diwali 2023.
