Harmony Tree is a harmonious sound installation of bells by artist Jasmine Grace that creates a song of unity when activated by the blowing of the wind. Relax, have a seat and listen to the sounds of the various bells singing. The intention of the work is to create a gathering place of peace, respect and celebration of diversity and multiculturalism amongst the community. How do bells communicate cultural unity?

Bells are one of the oldest percussion instruments, having strong historic and cultural value. They are symbolic objects that act as a common link between large varieties of cultures. Their unique ability to produce strong sounds that can reach vast distances has been used in many Ancient cultures as a mean of communication.
