387" x 95" x 24"
Affluents consists of fluid forms that fit together to give a sense of unity and movement, and to create an extended unfolding of mountains and waves. This piece is like a window that opens up onto a landscape… an imaginary landscape… a multifaceted landscape that reflects the nautical world facing the building. The way the forms are arranged and their sculptural look produce a perspective effect that gives the illusion of wide-open spaces. The imagery the work summons up lies somewhere between abstraction and figuration, and thus makes it emblematic of a place that wishes to maintain a balance between the individual and the community. Designed to freely allow many different interpretations, it will let all those who pass through the Sorel-Tracy Marine Terminal form their own relationship with the work, a relationship that will invariably evolve over time.
Affluents is created with various tinted and natural wood veneers, as well as gold, copper and aluminum leaf. These various colours and hues connect inside with outside and generate a dialogue with the vista seen through the curtain walls. This sculptural mural unfurls along the wall so as to evoke the movement within the architectural geometry. The harmonious dialogue creates a dynamic accent in the space. In this way, architecture and artwork enhance and amplify each other.
