Reflection Trees

The Reflection Trees are a community arts installation that encourages conversation, community bonding and the exchanging of perspectives. Created for the Rockhampton River Festival weekend in July 2024, hundreds of people wrote their reflections on paper leaves. They they hung these leaves from the branches of the trees, each card blossoming into a broader conversation and opportunity for shared storytelling.

Three meaningful questions, three trees made of LED lights and hundreds of hand-cut coloured paper leaves adorn the reflection orchard, creating an enchanting and heart-felt experience for festival-goers.
