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. Situated in Birmingham's Grade II listed Cannon Hill Park, the centre piece of the 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. The landscape surrounding is conceived as a series of stone ripples that flow in concentric circles from the centre of the sculpture.
