It defines the entrance of the pathway running from Second Avenue to the Sea bus in North Vancouver.

We set ourselves to enquire on the ephemeral state of being, where everything that is, ceases to be and becomes another.

The artwork is a metaphor for passage and journey into the unknown.

It stimulates the senses as it captures light. The viewer is invited to a place of softness, permeability and reflection. The glass is full of bubbles of colour and diffused layers which breath life and charged energy into the environment.

It’s location in the landscape creates a contrast to the hard edge urban cityscape.
