Vincent Browne, one of Ireland’s most prolific sculptors was commissioned in 2005 to create a unique work which would enhance the pond and the newly built Civic Offices. Vincent won the commission with his model “ The Tree of Life”.The Tree of life is constructed in bronze with hand welded bronze leaves. The structure represents the double helix a symbol associated with the structure of DNA, the building block of human existence. The sculpture reflects in the water and against the glass quietly interrupting its environment.
