Keith Welters first conceived the idea of a communal memorial based on the ancient concept of a Tree of Life back in 1998. The design alludes to the interconnection with our world and acts as a metaphor for rebirth and the evolution of life itself.
Over the years the design has been developed and re-imagined as a stainless steel memorial with inscribed leaves and as fountain feature. The latest envisagement is in the form of a disc tree which echoes elements from the original design.
