The Key to Peace
Vahid Misaghi
Installed October 2024
Fibreglass, Iron Metal, Concrete
Located at Highbourne Rd & Eglinton Ave W (Southeast side)
In The Key To Peace, artist Vahid Misaghi represents the complex histories and identities found within Canada in a single mythological figure.
Rich with symbolism, Misaghi’s sculpture makes many allusions to the iconography that make up our national consciousness, including the maple leaf, Canada goose and the National Coat of Arms. These icons are embodied through a mysterious masked figure, referencing our neighbourhood as a site of gathering and celebration. Through these symbols, Misaghi pays tribute to the harmonious relationship between the natural and civilized world that exists in Canada, and a touching call for peace.
