This sculpture composition consisting of a family of three Beavers, together in a half circular formation, laughing together, basking in the sun, and enjoying the moment. The beaver is an emblem we’re reminded of every time we fish a nickel out of our pockets, walk past a Roots Canada store, stop to look at the Hudson’s Bay Company of Bank of Montreal coat of arms and sign up young kids to be Beaver Scouts, making this artwork very Canadian. The sculpture symbolizes the importance of family, such as relatives, friends, neighbors, or people you share a community with. The cohesiveness of the composition represents community, and also the importance of enjoying life, each other, and laughing whenever we can. Because laughter crosses over all cultural and language boundaries, it is universal in its meaning. It brings everyone together regardless of ethnicity of culture, and it reminds us that “ Life is Beautiful”.
