Tree of Life

Tommy Craggs & Patrycja Picha
2015

Description

As the Monterey cypress tree in Raheny had to be taken down for safety reasons, Tommy Craggs created this Tree of Life, or Peace. The tree at the north-east corner of St Anne's Park, was transformed into a piece of art that reflected both the creatures of the park and the biodiversity of nearby Bull Island. You can see an octopus, a fox, a swan, a dolphin, and much more.
