I’m fascinated by the diagonal lines and perspective of this massive public art installation in a nearby waterfront park.
The WOW Westminster was a 140-foot structure, comprising four 40-foot shipping containers cantilevered to form a W-shape. It was designed by Brazilian artist José Resende and was installed in 2015. Sadly, in September 2020, the pier was destroyed by fire, and the big W installation could not be safely moved, so it was demolished.
