As a 2D animator, Kerel Alaas is used to seeing things in a different way, and that's what sparked the idea for a new project highlighting various neighbourhoods across Metro Vancouver.
Alaas wanted to be an architect growing up in Yakutsk, a city in Russia's Republic of Sakha, but decided it would be a difficult path. Instead, she decided to follow her artistic nature, attending Emily Carr University after her family moved to Metro Vancouver.
