The Sousse and Bardo memorial is dedicated to the 31 British nationals who lost their lives and to all those affected by the two terrorist attacks in Tunisia in 2015. It is inspired by the fluid geometry of flowing water, frozen in place, as if time has stood still at the moment of the attacks.

The centre piece of our memorial contains a sculpture titled ‘Infinite Wave’’ which recreates a single wave formed from 31 individual streams, one for each British national who lost their lives in the attacks. Each stream is formed from a graceful twisting and turning stainless steel tube.

As visitors to the sculpture inspect the graceful, calm geometry of the sculpture they can trace the path of each stream, an act which reveals that the threads are not discrete individual elements but instead flow into each other. What at first appears to be 31 individual threads are all in fact part of a single much longer continuous thread, eventually looping back in on itself and beginning again. The form of the overall wave has been carefully designed to be appreciated from many angles.

The landscape surrounding the sculpture continues the theme of water. It is conceived as a series of ripples that flow in concentric circles from the centre of the sculpture. The ripples represent the impact that the events in 2015 had beyond those that lost their lives.
