IGNITING A GLOBAL VISION

Firetree is a 24-foot-tall sculpture that represents resilience, courage, and grace as something visible, deeply human, and globally powerful.

The Steel Tree

Consider our human world, with its many cultural variations, entwined and connected into a singular, towering entity. 

The Firetree Project has visualized this concept as a steel fabricated Tree of Humanity. It stands on a curved base that reimagines Earth as a fantastic creature with spinning wheels and feathered wings that moves with ease through our 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."
