A combination of LED lighting, glazed terra cotta and laser-cut steel are featured on both sides of this exterior transit station. The viewer is invited to view the symbols created by the community members, their diversity highlighting how individually people can interpret their connection to a "place". Flowers, houses, maple leafs, cowboy boots and animals are just some of the elements which the community have defined as being significant to them, personally. Dynamic and fluid in the day, this installation glows at night shifting the focus from the symbols to elements representing waves. This acknowledges the significance of our rivers, one of the most defining elements of our city; both an original mode of transportation and a common link to connect the stories of our history and the stories of today.
