Frangipani Tree

The centrepiece of our Born from Fire 2023: Return to the Flames Exhibition, Frangipani Tree was developed as an idea of the beautiful trees that adorn villages, homes & gardens throughout Fiji, their presence throughout the islands symbolising community and coming together.

The flower’s scent is fragrant and colour vibrant with their soft yellow and white petals.

This Frangipani tree has been made in three sections – it can be bought as a unique piece or sections similar to the smaller Frangipani exhibition piece can be ordered.

The Artists

Shane and Alice have been working together on the collaborative pieces for the exhibition. As Shane lives in Savusavu and Alice in Sigatoka, the collaborative creative process has taken place over the waters with images, messages and emails being sent back and forth with ideas and concepts. Once those concepts are finalized the artists create the individual components and send their work to each other to be constructed.
