Justin Langlois is a Vancouver-based artist, educator, and organizer. He's also the mind behind False Creek's latest public art installation, "Should I Be Worried?"
The new artwork's neon text is affixed to a wooden support structure, which is meant to signify a number of the social, environmental, and political issues that Vancouver is currently facing.
"Should I Be Worried?" is the result of an 18-month Artist-in-Residence program that was supported by staff in both the city's Sustainability group and Public Art program.

His public artworks can be found throughout Western Canada.
