Tree of Comfort and Hope

The tree, made of durable Corten steel, finds its roots in the rich history of Uden, where for centuries comfort was sought at the old linden tree of Our Lady of the Linden. In response to the need for a contemporary symbol of hope and comfort for young people, the idea for the “Tree of Comfort and Hope” was born. The robust material contrasts beautifully with the fragile emotions depicted by the young people. This work of art will take a prominent place in the Liberation Park in Uden, where it will provide a resting point for anyone seeking solace or hope in the public space.

This project is an initiative of Art & Co Foundation, supported by several partners. It reflects the power of collaboration between artist, students, and community, and provides a platform for youth to have their voices heard. Following the temporary display at Museum Krona the tree can be admired at its permanent location in the park.

Tree of Comfort and Hope is not just a work of art, but a space for reflection, connection and future perspective, for and by the youth of Uden.
