Dream, Public sculpture at Sutton Manor, England
The Dream sculpture rises 20 meters high, featuring a white fiberglass head of a young girl with closed eyes placed on the former mining site.
The sculpture was unveiled in 2009 as part of Channel 4's Big Art Project, transforming the location of the former Sutton Manor Colliery into a cultural landmark.
Former miners from the local community participated in selecting this artwork by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, connecting the industrial past with artistic expression.
Visitors can access the sculpture throughout the year via designated paths in the 230-acre Sutton Manor Community Woodland, with audio guides available for download.
The structure consists of 90 individual pieces across 14 tiers, with foundations extending 38 meters into the ground and secured by eight substantial piles.
