Yoko Ono

Wish Tree By Yoko Ono
         The tree has stood in the sculpture garden since 2007. It is one of many wish trees around the world installed by Ono as a part of her international peace project. Every autumn, sometime in November, the leaves fall off and the tree becomes a whispering tree. Rather than hang their wishes from the tree on small strips of paper, as they do during the warmer months, visitors are encouraged to snuggle up to the tree and whisper their wishes to it.
       This is kindda cool. Every wish people make now has put on a tree. It stands there for long time and hope it will come true. It is like a traditional style of prayer which comes from Asian culture, espcially Chinese.
