IGNITING A GLOBAL VISION
Firetree is a 24-foot-tall sculpture that turns resilience, courage, and grace into something visible, deeply human, and globally powerful.
The Steel Tree
Consider our human world, with its many cultural variations, connected all as one into a singular, towering entity.
The Firetree Project has visualized this concept as a steel fabricated, Tree of Humanity. It's standing on a curved base that reimagines Earth as a fantastic creature with spinning wheels and feathered wings that moves with ease through a magical starlit universe.
The Flame
The rising column of fire within
Firetree exclaims, "Plus Ultra!”
A battle cry of sorts, challenging
the world to embrace the most
redeeming qualities of human
nature to go Further Beyond
toward building a strong and
lasting future for life on Earth.
"Firetree infuses the excitement of fire into a playful,
thought-provoking sculpture that challenges our
global community to achieve the extraordinary."
