The Birds

Vancouver artist Myfanwy MacLeod is captivated by the ability of public art to convey political and historical significance. Her creation, "The Birds," located at Southeast False Creek Olympic Plaza, occupies the last expansive waterfront space near downtown Vancouver and is inspired by the community's dedication to sustainability. MacLeod's artwork highlights the dual nature of introducing non-native species to an environment, revealing the allure of birds that can mask their potential threat to biodiversity.
