El Olivo de JOSÉ SARAMAGO'S OLIVE TREE‘'s Olive Tree

José Saramago's olive tree. Created by Saskia Moro, on the occasion of the centenary of the writer's birth. This tree is an original sculpture, inspired by the olive tree that houses the ashes of the writer José Saramago. Olive trees are a symbol of peace and wisdom. The final phrase of Memorial do Convento, in the form of an epitaph, concludes the space that the city of Lisbon dedicates to the writer, in front of the Foundation that bears his name: "He did not ascend to the stars, if he belonged to the earth." The materials from which it is made can be altered by time and the environment, without losing its charm and beauty.
