Ceramic artist Paul Cummins commemorates the centenary of the outbreak of the first world war there with 888,246 ceramic red poppies gradually planted until November 11. More than 5 million people have visited the 4-month long art installation at the Tower of London which represents the 888,246 British or colonial lives lost during the First World War. The art installation was created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins and set designer Tom Piper, and titled after a quote from the will of an unknown solider: “The blood-swept lands and seas of red, where angels fear to tread.”
