L'artiste Jean-Yves Vigneau offre au paysage gatinois une forme en aluminium déployée de manière dynamique au-dessus d'un bassin de rétention. Tel un jet entre deux rives à l'image du pont Brady, cette sculpture contemporaine est un symbole social et culturel qui traverse le temps. L'observateur qui prendra un moment pour s'y arrêter découvrira des inscriptions gravées dans la matière comme on en trouve parfois sur de vieux édifices.

This piece will be an aluminium structure depicting a stream between two shorelines, reflective of the Brady Bridge, which spans the Lièvre river and connects residents in the Buckingham sector. The work, measuring 9.7 m in length, will arc up to a height of 2.7 m and will stand over a holding basin planned for the new ecological building. It will be made at Forge ornementale Lapointe, which is located in Quebec City.
