Celebration of Life Mural

The final product of a three-year project designed for and dedicated to, cancer survivors. The large bronze thistle depicts the resilience and the tenacity of the cancer survivors as they put down tougher roots, and face each day’s challenges with deep courage and determination. The butterfly sitting on the highest flower is a symbol of transition through life’s challenging changes.

The mural was designed as a flowing pattern with each tile representing a life. The whole design represents the flow of these lives – some long, some much too short – weaving their way in and out of other lives.

All tiles represent lives, hopes, dreams, struggles and memories.
