Osprey Towers Sculpture

Beneath the outstretched wings of a metal osprey, a tale unfolds. The Osprey Towers Sculpture in Burnaby, British Columbia, stands as a testament to the intertwining of nature and human creation. Two towering forms reach skyward, supported by sturdy legs. At the pinnacle of each tower, intricate nests mimic the artistry of ospreys. These metallic nests, a chaotic yet beautiful tangle of stick-like elements, are visible from the ground and nearby buildings. The Osprey Towers Sculpture was brought to life in 2023 by the collaborative vision of artists Mowry and Colin Baden. They chose aluminum and steel to craft this impressive work, employing metal fabrication techniques. The sculpture’s imposing dimensions, a height of 916.94 and a width of 192.4, dominate the landscape. Commissioned by Imani Development Inc., the Osprey Towers Sculpture finds its home as part of a private development, enriching the public art scene. It serves as a striking visual centerpiece, drawing the eye and sparking curiosity. The nests atop the towers aren’t just aesthetic additions. They are symbolic representations of the ospreys that often grace the skies above. They remind us of the delicate balance between urban development and the natural world. The Osprey Towers Sculpture stands not just as a piece of art. It also stands as a symbol of our connection to nature.
