"Rosa Nautica"
We are back in the CityPlace condo development and this is yet another of the art pieces installed as part of the city's required art component (1% of the total construction costs). This piece called Rosa Nautica is by artist Francisco Gazitua who had also designed the yellow pedestrian bridge that I showed you last week. This piece is over 75 ft tall and is said to reference sextants and the masts from sailing ships in a nod to the long history of navigation on Lake Ontario which is just a very short walk south from here.

Very impressive and framed perfectly against that gorgeous blue sky!
i like it!
Like the other recent piece, I saw the mast references immediately. Pretty nice.
Nice composition, its's an interesting work! ;-)
One of my favorite pieces of the ones you've shown us recently. Great lines and curves - very nautical!
Nice sculpture, like the way it winds around the steps.
Beautiful (I know nothing about sailing, but I love it anyway and can imagine the special meaning it would have to anyone who ever boated on the Lake. That's a perfect use of that 1%....beautiful for everybody and -- special to the area where it's installed..
Quite an impressive piece of work!
This is absolutely gorgeous
Such interesting art pieces at the condo complex. I'm impressed.
The 1% for public art is the best thing ever, this is 75 ft fabulous Pat..
Nice! I think it's appropriate for condos close to the waterfront.
