A tall, narrow, modern building with a dark brick facade and large windows stands to the left of the image
MomentA tall, narrow, modern building with a dark brick facade and large windows stands to the left of the image. Adjacent to it, and partially obscuring the view, is a second, older building constructed of light brown brick with decorative yellow trim and arched windows. To the right of these structures, a large, leafy green tree dominates the foreground. Perched atop the older building, a concrete structure features a prominent, intricately carved wooden totem pole, its various faces and figures reaching towards a clear blue sky. The concrete is decorated with a large, stylized white relief carving of an eye-like shape, common in Pacific Northwest Indigenous art. The overall scene suggests an urban environment where modern architecture is juxtaposed with historical buildings and cultural art installations. This specific installation, the totem pole and surrounding art, is located at 1450 West Georgia Street in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, adjacent to the Vancouver Convention Centre. There are no people visible in the image.
