  2. The Tree of Life 1993. Lorenzo Quinn (Italian, 1966)

  3. "I make art for myself and for people who wish to come along for a ride through my dreams” Lorenzo Quinn (Italian, 1966) The Tree of Life

  4. Lorenzo Quinn (Italian, 1966) ‘Give’

  5. “Give and expect nothing in return, the rewards will be beyond your expectations. Humanity is at a turning point, we live in a precarious balance with nature, which needs our protection and nourishment, and in turn, nature will reward us. During these very difficult times for so many people around the world please remember to be kind and to be socially responsible. Give love, Give life, Give safety… GIVE” Lorenzo Quinn Lorenzo Quinn (Italian, 1966) ‘Give’

  6. This memorial 'The Tree of Life' by Lorenzo Quinn is dedicated to thememory of all victims of the Blitz on Birmingham

  7. Lorenzo Quinn (Italian, 1966) A memorial that honours the victims of World War II bombing raids on Birmingham. The sculpture is called The Tree of Life because it was thanks to these people, that many people here today owe their own lives.

  8. Lorenzo Quinn (Italian, 1966) The Tree of Life, a symbol, the outstretched hands representing a search for a better future

  9. The Stoclet Frieze, Gustav Klimt, mosaic frieze, 1905-1911 Austrian Museum of Applied Arts

  10. Bungamas (lit. "golden and silver flowers“), a form of tribute sent to the King of Siam from his vassal states in the Malay Peninsula National Museum Kuala Lumpur

  11. Lignum Vitae (The Tree of Life), an example of perfect goldsmithry from the XV century at Lucignano in Val di Chiana, Italy, a exquisite jewel-reliquary composed by gold, coral, crystals, glaze and artisanal passion

  12. The Tree is a large reliquary: the small trefoil hanging in pairs on each of its twelve branches are shrines that once retained Franciscan relics and fragments of the Cross of Christ. It belongs to the type of phytomorphic reliquaries, namely that reproduce vegetable forms. Although very common in ancient times, today there remain only a few specimens of this type

  13. The beginning of the work dates back to 1350. Nevertheless, it was completed only in 1471, 120 years later

  14. The tree contains, in its tripartite morphological structure (root, trunk and crown), the metaphor of the life of Christ in three different phases: birth, passion and glory, as it is developed in the Lignum vitae, a mystical poem by Bonaventura da Bagnoregio (1260). The quatrefoil base supports the drum, on which are grafted first a small temple in Gothic style, then the twelve branches and finally, on the top of the Tree, a crucified Christ and a pelican, the Christological symbol of the animal that injures itself to death to feed its children.

  15. The tree was originally stored in a wooden cabinet painted by the painter Luca Signorelli from Cortona, one of the most prestigious artists of the time. On the night of September 28th 1914, the tree was stolen and it was found again - disassembled and partially damaged - only in November 1917 in a cave near Sarteano, so that it was soon restored by the Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence

  16. Lignum Vitae (The Tree of Life), Lucignano in Val di Chiana, Italy

  17. The Tree, symbol of divine love, has originated a legend, according to which lovers exchanging vows in front of its branches receive good luck. This legend gave the idea for two initiatives promoted by the Town Council: "Signs of Love", that since 2002 takes place on February 14th, Valentine's day, and the more recent "Feast of the Spouses", the first Sunday of September, born from the partnership between Lucignano, his Golden Tree and the famous Japanese stylist of wedding dresses Yumi Katsura. The tree also witnessed the travel / research of the two protagonists of Certified Copy, a film by Abbas Kiarostami (2010)

  18. Vancouver, Canada 43-foot mirror-image sculpture of Stanley Park's iconic Hollow Tree by Douglas Coupland The Hollow Tree is said to be about 800 years old and was Vancouver’s first major tourist attraction. It was badly damaged by a windstorm in December 2006, and was slated for removal due to possible safety hazards. However, public outcry and a fundraising campaign managed to save the tree.

Inspired by a child who derives joy from simple pleasures, this shimmering beacon can transport the viewer from the mundane to a realm of pure bliss and calm. The installation stands tall in the Dubai Creek Harbour, home to the iconic and highest planned building, the Dubai Creek Tower.
