Tree of Unity, Modern sculpture in Vingis Park, Vilnius, Lithuania
The Tree of Unity is a modern metal sculpture located in Vingis Park, standing approximately 9 meters tall with a complex network of interwoven branches and forms. The work features detailed metalwork that mimics natural tree structures while maintaining an abstract and artistic quality.
The sculpture was created in 2009, marking a moment when Lithuania refocused on national identity following decades of separation and external control. This period represented a renewal of attention to local traditions and the country's place in the world.
The Tree of Unity represents a connection between Lithuanian communities worldwide and serves as a gathering point for celebrations and cultural events throughout the year. The metallic branches are designed to symbolize roots spreading across continents, creating a visual metaphor for diaspora and belonging.
The sculpture is easily accessible via marked paths throughout Vingis Park, making it simple to locate and visit on foot. The park setting offers open space and clear sightlines, allowing visitors to approach from multiple directions and view the work from different angles.
The appearance of the sculpture shifts noticeably throughout the day as sunlight passes through its dense network of metal branches, creating different shadows and highlighted areas. This constant visual transformation means the work never looks quite the same twice.
