  • 1009 Expo Blvd, Vancouver
Lurking in a huge pie shaped courtyard bordered by Expo Blvd and Cambie Street, this enormous, shallow, leaf shaped pond includes a central stalk from which branch ribs, upon which you can walk if you trust your balance. At night, the underwater lights highlight the leaf's outline and reflect off the pond's sculptured bottom to create a dramatic effect, which increases the closer you get. From a distance one might not even notice this playfully beautiful water art unless looking directly at it. On one edge of the pool are inscribed poetic suggestions from the artist.
