Whimsy and Wise

Whimsy and Wise is a creative initiative based in Palo Alto, California, known for its unique owl sculptures made from mirror-polished stainless steel and concrete. Commissioned by the city, these striking 44-inch-tall sculptures are prominently displayed at the entrance of the newly renovated Mitchell Park Library, enhancing the building's appeal and engagement.

Beyond their aesthetic value, the owls serve a practical purpose, effectively capturing the attention of children and encouraging them to pause before exiting the library, thereby enhancing safety. This unexpected benefit has been appreciated by parents, who have noted their children often stop to interact with the sculptures before heading out into the street.
