Focus on Life (sculpture) and explore the Background.
Commissioned by Ben's Bakery, Life was designed by noted painter Joseph Drapell shortly after he emigrated from Czechoslovakia as a refugee, landing in Halifax in 1966. The piece, one of the artist's first professional works, sits along the edge of the bakery's former property, shielding an open-air car park and loading area from the commercial street beyond.
