A ferrous metal silhouette sculpture at the heart of the Blein Yn Garden (Our Island Garden) a small community garden in St. John's, which is a legacy of the 'Year of Our Island Project' in 2018.

The sculpture is mounted on a raised wooden circular base, which is approximately 8 feet in diameter. On top of the wooden base is a metal silhouette of the Isle of Man and the Calf of Man. This silhouette is a metal ring with the following text at the 'northern' end of the island silhouette:

'2018 Year of our Island'

Mounted at the centre of the island silhouette is a metal triskelion, or 'three legs of man' (visit link)

'The Blein yn Ellan Ain Garden is a celebration of our Island and an appreciation of what makes the Isle of Man a special place, as seen through the eyes of our Island’s Children. Seventeen primary schools from across our Island have worked to create a garden, based on their interpretation of the environment around them and what makes the Island such a special place to live and go to school in.'
