The Wish Tree was inspired by Yoko Ono's childhood experience of visiting a temple in Japan where she would write a wish on a piece of paper and attach it to a tree branch. In this participatory art work she is inviting people to pen a wish and hang it from the tree. Yoko Ono has planted wish trees the world over. In Delhi, wish trees have been placed in various public places like schools, hospitals, art galleries and book stores. These wishes will be finally collected and sent to the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER in Iceland that hosts wishes of people around the world. The artist wishes a wish for peace and harmony through this simple and beautiful conceptual art work.

Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research about this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I am very glad to see such fantastic information being shared freely out there.
