accidental swastika

stainless steel wallpaper inside of an elevator at fifteen scadding ave, one of toronto community housings properties embossed with a relief texture made of a motif popularly termed swastika.

unobtrusive enough to be almost invisible during a short elevator ride. each square of the pattern repeats an L shape arm four times at a slight tilt clockwise, suggesting, not copying, the diagonal swastika of the german nationalist party.
