Etobicoke Creek Watershed

This is an animated map tracing the flow of water along Etobicoke Creek, from its headwaters in Caledon through Brampton and Mississauga to its meeting with Lake Ontario. Created using hand-illustrated and watercolour elements, the animation visualizes water as a continuous, living presence moving through changing landscapes. Accompanied solely by the sound of flowing water, the work invites viewers to slow down, observe, and experience the creek as a single connected system.
