Alberta's Dream

Spanish artist, Juame Plensa created a sculpture for the northwest side of The Bow Tower, called Alberta’s Dream. The bronze cast of a man embracing a live tree — a self-portrait of Plensa — is intimate and yet connected to community, with the body wearing names of places in Alberta.

 

“It is a beautiful metaphor in the way that our soul is coming up from our interior body like a tree which is always alive” (Juame Plensa)
