Located at the entrance to Centro residential tower. “Fields” is a metaphor for agricultural fields in Richmond, British Columbia.

The large-scale fused glass panels sitting on a reflecting pool represent the former agricultural fields and the perimeter drainage ditches of Richmond, which always flowed with water.

“Fields” creates a moment of pause, of stillness on the busy No.3 Rd. It symbolizes the concept of territory and resonates with the deep cultural roots of identity and homeland.
