How Belfast got stuck in to make artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada's Wish come true


Around 30,000 wooden pegs, 2,000 tonnes of soil, 2,000 tonnes of sand, plus grass, stones, string, and lots of elbow grease has gone into Wish – the UK and Ireland's largest land art portrait.

Located in the Titanic Quarter of the city, the portrait based on a photograph of an anonymous six-year-old Belfast girl, is best seen by helicopter, drone or when on a plane arriving into the city.
