Home is Toronto and we all see our city a little differently. For photographer Soteeoh, or Adeyemi Adegbesan, these perceptions are changing.

Toronto seems to have more clout now, thanks, in part, to a certain rapper. The New York Times listed our city as one of its top travel destinations last year, and after certain devastating world events, Toronto has even more appeal now.

Adegbesan recognizes that shift. "There’s a certain vibe that kind of goes with the way the new city’s being presented. I’ve heard it be called like a rebranding before," he says.

He aims to capture this vibe at ICON, his solo show on at the Project Gallery until May 14 as part of the Contact Photography Festival. In it, he looks at symbols, both new and old, that have come to represent Toronto.

“It’s a celebration of the visual symbols and identifiers that go with the current wave of Toronto-centricity," he says.

Here are some of Toronto's visual identifiers:

It might be super grey, but our Financial District has some pretty awesome architecture. It's also super popular with Instagrammers who rep the city online.
