Project Description
‘Garden of Reflection’
Inner City Trust, Derry City Council and Diverse City Community Partnership
Supported by PEACE III Programme through the European Union’s Regional Development Fund managed by the Special EU
The public art work within the garden was selected through an open competition. Together with Alpha Stained Glass, who designed and constructed seven free-standing stained glass panels, Burnside wrote seven Haiku on the theme of The Journey. Each poem asks the onlooker to reflect in turn on Awareness, Hope, Compassion, Wisdom, Respect, Reconciliation and Understanding.
