Commissioned by Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, this freestanding wishing tree was created for families who had lost a child.
The tree was designed as a place for remembrance, reflection and hope, giving families a physical point at which to express their thoughts and wishes during an incredibly difficult time.
Standing 2.1 metres tall, the sculpture is constructed from forged steel tube and incorporates a donation box, allowing visitors to leave a wish while supporting the hospital and its work with children and families.
