What Grows Together

"What Grows Together" reflects the intertwining of nature and culture in Quebec. The Labatt 50 bottle, a symbol of working-class tradition and community, becomes the vessel from which magnolia blossoms emerge - flowers rooted in the same soil that has sustained generations.

Just as the magnolia grows from the land, Labatt 50 has grown from the collective identity of Quebec, becoming more than a beer: a cultural staple, a marker of memory, and a shared heritage. The work invites us to consider how identity is cultivated - through what we drink, what we celebrate, and what grows together in the places we call home.
