About Bright Knights
Made of stainless steel, this abstract sculpture stands at the entrance to Focal Point, a condo and retail development near the Cloverdale/Langley border. It is intended to be representational of a welcoming and place-holding figure, and could also be seen as a protector. The polished stainless steel reflects light in a dizzying way both day and night. At night, it is illuminated in various colours.
