A Parallax View (2023)

Permenant Public Artwork Commisioned by Bosa Development for Bosa Waterfront.
Cold rolled steel dipped in chrome

The elegant soft design of the curved forms cascading along the side of BOSA Waterfront at 320 Granville St. (Vancouver) made up the overall shape of A Parallax View (2023). The architectural design of the building, the site’s proximity to the Waterfront Station, the movement of the transient public, and the historic elements of the neighborhood were all carefully considered during the development of the artwork’s concept.

The individual ripple shapes, repeated in different scales, resonate with the stacked forms of the building, emphasizing the relationship between the ground plane, landscape, and tower. The visually engaging artwork was designed to harmoniously reflect all surrounding elements, complementing the building’s architecture and environment while maximizing permeability. Its dynamic and interactive form, made of chrome-coated steel, reflects the surrounding landscape and pedestrian movement, engaging and transforming the passive viewers into active participants.

The artwork’s ever-changing nature, influenced by perspective, anamorphic principles, and the Gestalt law of Closure, creates a visually dynamic effect, inviting viewers to complete the abstract volume in their minds and allowing the artwork to adapt based on the viewer’s perspective.
