EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking photograph captures the awe-inspiring sight of Poppies: Wave (28825_008), an installation commemorating the centenary of the First World War, located at Cascade Bridge and Weir in Bretton Park, Wakefield. Part of the renowned Yorkshire Sculpture Park, nestled within the picturesque grounds of Bretton Hall, this poignant artwork was photographed in October 2015 by Dave MacLeod for Historic England. The Poppies: Wave sculpture is a powerful tribute to the sacrifices made during the First World War. The vast expanse of vibrant red poppies, cascading down the sloping terrain, creates a mesmerizing wave-like effect that seems to flow towards the tranquil water below. The ethereal beauty of the poppies, set against the backdrop of the historic Cascade Bridge and Weir, serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. The installation is a collaborative project between artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper. The poppies are made from recycled plastic and were first displayed at the Tower of London in 2014, forming a powerful and moving memorial to the millions of lives lost during the war. The installation at Bretton Park was a part of the wider touring project, which saw the poppies travel to various locations across the UK. The photograph captures the essence of the installation, with the poppies appearing to merge with the natural surroundings, creating a hauntingly beautiful and poignant image. The reflection of the poppies in the water adds an extra layer of depth and meaning to the artwork, making it a must-see attraction for visitors to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
