"After losing her, Anderson-Pyrz said she had a vivid dream of the northern lights all around her. 

Ferguson didn't realize when she took the pictures that she had recreated Anderson-Pryz's dream. 

'I really wanted to do something in honour of her family,' Ferguson said, adding she intentionally doesn't watermark her images so people can use them and share them if they want.

'I've always been taught that when you have a gift, you're meant to share it with others. That gift is never meant for you to keep it. So this is my way of gifting it.'

The photos also raise awareness. 

'It's really important to promote that all Canadians are part of the solution to end the genocide,' Anderson-Pyrz said."
