Looking Up Thru Jaume Plensa’s WE at night. Photo by Adam Kambeitz.

Jaume Plensa’s sculpture is entitled WE and it’s situated on a hilltop along Sunset Beach.

It’s a seated figure made of letters from many different alphabets from around the world.  The figure is facing west  toward the open waters of the Pacific Ocean.

It’s a powerful piece that is especially profound given the Olympic atmosphere in Vancouver right now.  As a symbol the world community, communication and understanding, this sculpture is perfectly poised to welcome and inspire international visitors.

Local photographer and marketing professional, Adam Kambeitz, wrote up a nice piece on WE for MetroBlenz that includes some stunning photographs.

Great work, Adam!  Thanks for doing such an excellent job.
