God of Landlord worship is very typical habitude in Southern China coastal areas like Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Taiwan etc. from where the overseas Chinese descendants are still keeping this custom.

By using the typical shape of Vancouver special, and replace the figure of landlord god with the Queen’s image, which was the biggest landlord of the world and is still the monarch of Canada, of which the image also represent the colonization power. A new form of how Chinese habitude should adapt to this place as part of the settlers’ term.
