The Weeping Window
Weeping Window is a cascade comprising several thousand handmade ceramic poppies seen pouring from a high window to the ground below . This breathtaking sculpture by artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper was initially conceived as one of the key dramatic sculptural elements in the installation ' Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red ' at the Tower of London in the autumn of 2014. Over the course of their time at the Tower, this sculpture and its companion , entitled ' Wave ' were gradually surrounded by a vast field of ceramic poppies, each one planted by a volunteer in memory of the life of a British and Colonial soldier lost during the First World War. In their original setting they captured the public imagination and were visited by over five million people.
