Elicser Elliot: Anonymous Somebody• Anonymous Somebody captures the snippets of our bustling Bloor
West Village lives while standing still. • The artworks aims to communicate the story of individual spirit as
fresh and relevant to the metabolism of the neighbourhood. • The images work as an anchor to a thought or memory for the person
viewing it – to commemorate, celebrate, provoke, and heal. • Not unlike Runnymede, a house that became a community,
Anonymous Somebody welcomes all passengers to reframe the characters’ experience as they pass or wait, fluidly transitioning from past lives to present, making the artwork their own.
