Reko Rennie

“Totemic” , 2025.

silicone bronze, stainless steel

Commissioned as part of New Monumental, a public art series curated by Vital Commons for Scape


Reko Rennnie’s cast bronze sculpture Totemic reimagines the traditional totem through a contemporary lens, fusing historical symbolism with bold, urban aesthetics. Its reflective bronze surface captures light, movement, and the surrounding environment—inviting interaction and shifting perception. Beneath the sculpture, grey paving stones radiate outward in Rennie’s signature diamond pattern, anchoring the work in both place and tradition.

Embodying resilience, identity, and cultural continuity, Totemic encourages reflection on the enduring presence and cultural strength of First Nations peoples, and invites viewers to consider the evolving role of monuments in public space.“
