Why Becoming.
Becoming is Suchi Reddy’s public sculpture in Surrey, British Columbia, a work rooted in her own experience as an immigrant. It embodies the transformation every immigrant moves through in leaving one land, adapting to another, and finding a new place to call home.
The form is designed as a flexing arch: a gateway that holds the liminal space every immigrant occupies, a journey into the unknown and a return to roots. Sculpted from strands of extruded, anodized aluminum, the curve twists and turns and always returns to the ground, opening a path for others to walk through and watch the colors shift as they move.
For Surrey’s multinational community, the intention was to celebrate the process of becoming oneself.
