What whispers of solace echo within the Sanctuary Sculpture? Here at Macquarie Park Cemetery, the Sanctuary Sculpture stands as a testament to hope and healing. It was unveiled on Suicide Prevention Day, September 10, 2018, by Julia Gillard, the Chair of Beyond Blue. The Sanctuary Sculpture isn’t just a static piece of art. It’s a conversation starter about mental health and self-harm. It’s dedicated to those struggling with their inner peace, the families touched by loss, and the support systems that offer solace. The artist, Toby Wetherill, envisioned a powerful dichotomy within the Sanctuary Sculpture. A strong, upright wooden post represents resilience and stability. A leaning, fluid post balanced on loose rocks symbolizes vulnerability and fragility. The infinity symbol embraces these opposing forces, offering a message of optimism and eternal balance. Look closely at the Sanctuary Sculpture. Notice the kaleidoscope of butterflies adorning the top. They cast dappled light, reminiscent of a peaceful woodland clearing. A simple seat invites contemplation by a reflection pool. A sensory garden surrounds the Sanctuary Sculpture, engaging scent, touch, sight, and sound. These elements evoke positive memories, reminding us of the beauty interwoven throughout our life’s journey. The Sanctuary Sculpture is more than a memorial. It’s a sanctuary for reflection, healing, and hope.
