Sunflower
Created by: Reilly Creative
Sponsored by: Oadby Plastics
Location: The Clock Tower
Overview
This design has been inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s iconic Sunflowers. The artists said: “His paintings reminded us of the amazing work LOROS does and how there are so many people who are grateful to them. The beauty in the blooming and fading flowers in his sunflower paintings are a reminder of the cycle of life. This encapsulates the work of LOROS. They give compassionate care and find beauty, happiness and love in each stage in life’s journey, especially the end. We have taken the vibrant red and calming yellow of the LOROS logo to represent the charity.”
