- First Ancestors: Musqueam artist Diamond Point’s First Ancestors transforms the transit entrance glazing and walls into a contemporary Coast Salish statement. The work connects movement and place with ancestral knowledge, making every arrival a cultural acknowledgement as well as a physical one.
- Glyphs of the Epicure: Howie Tsui’s Glyphs of the Epicure is a series of surreal portraits — culinary ingredients and cooking tools CNC-etched into charred wood, revealing the bare grain beneath. Each figure works like a pictogram, translating regional cuisines into characters decipherable like ancient inscriptions, echoing the nearly lost craft of hand-carved mahjong tiles.
- Opalescent Cumulus Swirl: Haegue Yang’s Opalescent Cumulus Swirl hovers beneath the central skylight as a luminous formation of 226 opalescent venetian blinds. Capturing shifting daylight by day and glowing from within at night, the installation transforms the atrium into an immersive landscape of colour, crystalline shadows, and hypnotic movement.
- Bush Capsules: Bush Capsules by Brian Jungen creates a field of large-scale sculptural canopies at the rooftop park. Built from reconfigured everyday forms, they blur design, shelter and symbolism, inviting pause, conversation and a different sense of scale outdoors.
