Shrewsbury Arts Trail presents ‘Memento Mori’ by Halima Cassell - the beautiful sculptures in front of Shrewsbury Castle are a powerful testament to friendship.

Two striking sculptures in solid cast iron stand in front of Shrewsbury Castle walls, sandwiched between a WW2 field gun and the D Day commemoration flower bed.

It’s a fitting setting for Halima Cassell’s tear-drop shaped work 'Memento Mori' which deals with the deaths of her two best female friends and is part of Shrewsbury’s wider Sculpture Trail, celebrating all-British female sculptors this summer. The tall, flame-like pieces, lit by sunlight, burn as brightly as the spirits of the powerful women they represent. Halima says they are as much about life, reincarnation and the energy drawn from the universe.
