Sculpture by João Charters de Almeida, created in 1997. This sculpture is made out of  white granite from Portugal.

 

A gift from the Metropolitano de Lisboa to the STM and subsequently to the City of Montreal, this work marks the 30th anniversary of Montreal’s Metro – and Expo 67. This monumental sculpture is the work of Portuguese artist João Charters de Almeida. It represents a reflection on how humans create mythic spaces, both out of necessity and in response to challenges.
