Along a recreational trail in Black Rock, Nova Scotia, artists Sarah and Ben Mosher brought an uplifting poetic experience to the space. Subtly complementing the natural beauty of the path by hanging maritime signaling flags along the distance of the trail. The flags spell out two stanzas of a poe. The poems are revealed line by line as people journey down the path. The poem enforces themes of direction and purpose while the form of the signal flags allow for a quizzical enagment with the viewers. Each of these flags are double sided; the one side, the flag design representing a letter while the back shows the corresponding letter.
By the end of the trail, travelers will have been able to read the poem in its entirety. When they walk back to the beginning, the poem will reiterate its meaning in a new way. Reading the poem backwards, revealing a fresh perspective.
