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

Developed and fabricated as a collaborative artwork,
Firetree represents humanity and our global society as one historically interconnected and ever-evolving planetary tree. Fire can represent many things.
Within this steel sculpture, fire rises as a symbol of humankind's impressive power to achieve extraordinary global goals. Come touch the tree!
Everyone can engage, contribute, advocate, and advance the world toward a strong planet future for all life on Earth. |
