“Imagine the totality of everything you know about this extraordinary planet we call Earth. Compress that complex image into a serious, yet playful artwork, then add fire as a symbol of hope and global possibility - this vision defines the Firetree experience.”
Duncan MacDiarmid, Lead Artist

Developed and fabricated as a collaborative artwork,
Firetree represents our human family as one tall and expansive, historically entwined and interconnected, humanity tree.

Fire climbing within the tree,
symbolizes the power held within our world community and its ability to reach extraordinary global goals.

Come touch the tree!
Everyone can engage, contribute, advocate, and advance the world toward a strong planet future for humanity on Earth.
