To mark the 80th anniversary of WWII's end, the Tower of London features a stunning installation, The Tower Remembers, displaying 30,000 ceramic poppies. These poppies, a return of the 2014 artwork, cascade down the historic White Tower, symbolizing the memories of war. Accompanied by new poetry from Simon Armitage, the display serves as a reminder of sacrifice and survival. Designed by Tom Piper, this installation connects the past with the present, keeping alive the stories of wartime history as it fades from collective memory.
This may be smaller, but it packs just as much punch. These poppies speak of sacrifice, survival and the universal cost of war.
This is about remembrance, reflection, and bringing people together, said artist Paul Cummins. It's a joy to see the poppies return to where it all began.
