Tales in Currents is a sculpture installed at the terminus of the metro railway in the urban center of Richmond, one of Western Canada's most culturally diverse cities, where over 60% of the population is of East Asian descent. The design reimagines the concrete railway as a flowing waterway, intertwining two water-related stories: the natural marvel of salmon spawning in the nearby Fraser River, and the East Asian folklore of the koi fish leaping a mythical waterfall.

The installation depicts three fish figures, each at a different stage of climbing the waterfall. As the sculpture is situated within a bustling transit hub, the figures are strategically angled in varying directions, engaging commuters approaching from all sides. To fully appreciate the artwork, viewers must move around it, discovering perspectives and appearances that shift with their movement.

This interaction mirrors the rhythms of the daily commute, inviting a moment of pause and reflection amidst the rush, and echoing each viewer's personal journey and aspirations as integral threads within the broader narratives of our shared social currents.
