Description
A generous donation to The City, the towering monolith of steel, Onisama, is meant to be comforting or seen as a guardian figure to passersby. The name comes from time the artist spent in Japan but its site is really special. Across the street, the artist's dad ran a successful carpet shop for many years - a big part of the Gaetz Avenue story!
