Polygon UBC Sentinels

Reaching nearly eight feet tall and stretching a full two and a half feet wide, the sheer scale of these monumental works commands attention and awe. Crafted from fallen Western Red Cedar, their outer shells have been meticulously preserved, revealing the natural beauty and character of the wood’s grain and texture. The exteriors have been expertly sanded and finished, leaving tantalizing glimpses of the raw, untouched material that lies beneath.

These captivating sculptures strike an elegant balance between the refined and the rugged, the refined craftsmanship juxtaposed against the untamed, primal essence of the wood. Towering watchfully over all who approach, they evoke a sense of timeless guardianship, their stoic presence a testament to the enduring majesty of the natural world. Each detail, from the towering stature to the richly textured surfaces, has been
thoughtfully preserved and accentuated, creating an immersive experience that transports the viewer to a bygone era of strength, resilience, and the awe-inspiring power of the natural elements.
