In 2018, Joseph completed a commissioned project of a 30 foot diameter floor installation for Centre for Innovation, Technology & Entrepreneurship at Seneca College in Toronto. By way of Teachings, Ceremonies, Elders, and Community Resources, this design integrates culture, heritage, spirituality, a system of governance, and symbolisms of the Inuit, Metis, and First Nations from the Great Lakes Region.
