Artist Jaume Plensa has outdone himself with the 'Wonderland' giant head sculpture situated at the base of The Bow, Calgary's tallest tower.

The sculpture is modelled after a young girls head and was intended primarily as an [interactive piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures) to allow visitors to walk through and around it. "My vision for Wonderland is to inspire everyone who experiences the sculpture: I believe the architecture of our bodies is the palace for our dreams," said the artist. It is made from a [wire mesh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflector-sculpture) and stands at a staggering 39 feet, which for many photographers is an ideal subject to be used in their pictures. For photographer Mike Morrison, he found the giant head sculpture a very impressive sight, which provided a different viewpoint every step he took.

If these pictures are convincing enough, it may just be time to take a trip to Calgary, Alberta, to see the art culture the city provides.
