Window to the Wild

Installed along the Jack & Jean Leslie RiverWalk, Window to the Wild by then Calgary artist Curtis Van Charles Sorensen brings Alberta’s wildlife into the heart of the city. Using a mix of photography, digital collage and hand-painted detail, Sorensen’s nine-piece installation transformed everyday surfaces into vivid scenes of foxes, beavers and birds—blurring the line between urban and natural worlds. Commissioned through CMLC’s Art in the Public Realm program, the work invited Calgarians to pause, look closer, and reflect on the wild beauty that surrounds us.
