Nadia Myre’s artwork Renouée, an open, airy landmark, resembles a fishing net woven with bronze cords into a conical shape. This monumental sculpture, standing at the centre of the small square situated at the intersection of Avenue Laurier Ouest and Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine, acts as a visual and temporal reference point. Indeed, today’s Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine is known to have been a natural trail used by Indigenous peoples at the time when they occupied Mount Royal.

Myre sees Renouée as “a physical metaphor” that symbolizes harmony. The fluidity of the net evokes a social fabric, with each knot representing the ties between individuals in a community. In this sense, Myre pays homage to the cohabitation of cultures and to their occupation of the land that is now the Outremont borough, which is today both residential and commercial, historical and modern.

Myre’s tall bronze structure is situated within an urban landscaping designed in collaboration with WAA, an international firm specializing in landscape architecture, urban design, and urban planning.
