YOKO ONO WISHTREE

The Wish Tree, inspired and endorsed by Yoko Ono, has been a part of many exhibitions since the 1990s. You are invited to write your wish on a piece of paper and hang it on a tree branch. It's like a collective prayer in a way. Some wishes are deeply personal, some global wishes for peace and better future for humankind.
