The compelling imagery symbolizes the feeling of being trapped, akin to a sardine in a can. As housing costs soar nationwide, this visual narrative captures the stark reality of people being confined to increasingly smaller living spaces.

Shifting gears to a more optimistic tone, the second illustration paints a positive tableau. It mirrors the thriving food culture in Peterborough, where diverse restaurants beckon people to indulge in a culinary exploration across the city. Each establishment contributes unique recipes and ingredients, fostering a rich tapestry of flavours. The imagery becomes a vivid representation of the joy and meaningful relationships that sprout from embracing new cultural experiences. It not only celebrates the gastronomic diversity but also underscores the communal bonds woven through the shared love of food and exploration.
