The Giving Tree

2021

​

The Giving Tree is a commemorative artwork commissioned to celebrate 10 years of BioMarin in Ireland and their dedication to the rare disease community. Inspired by the Celtic Crann Bethadh or Tree of Life, the sculpture symbolises unity, growth, and the spirit of giving, toward the earth, patients, and community. The piece features 1,200 interconnected bronze discs, representing the people who form the BioMarin ecosystem. In partnership with CRANN, 1,200 native trees have been planted across Ireland, mirroring the sculpture and reinforcing a legacy of sustainability and care that extends far beyond the physical artwork.
