Tree of Knowledge, Memorial in Barcaldine Regional, Australia
The Tree of Knowledge structure rises 18 meters into the sky, featuring suspended timber cubes that create patterns of light and shadow beneath.
The site marks where railway workers gathered in 1891 to launch a strike that influenced the formation of the Australian Labor Party.
The wooden memorial structure represents the original ghost gum tree, which served as a meeting point for local workers during labor movements.
Visitors can access the memorial structure day and night, with lighting effects creating different visual experiences throughout the 24-hour period.
The memorial contains 3913 suspended wooden cubes arranged in a formation that replicates the canopy of the original tree.
