Perched above Clark Drive, this LeD-lit
sculpture is an east Vancouver fixture.
But that’s not the only place you’ll find
it—jewellery, t-shirts, mugs and more have
been emblazoned with the iconic image.
more commonly known to locals as the
east Van Cross, it’s long been a familiar
graffiti tag in the area, often with the word
“rules” inscribed below. Vancouver-born
artist ken Lum has elevated the image to
a towering 17 m (57 ft), where it overlooks
the city from its eastern vantage point. we
recommend finding your own spot to view
this formidable artwork.
