The Snowdrop          

When the Trustees were considering what logo should represent the new Northern Ireland Centre for Trauma & Transformation, they invited the artist, Carole Kane, to come up with an image that would reflect the process of triumph over adversity, growth at a time when it is least expected, and the hope and experience of transformation.  Carole chose the snowdrop, which has now become the symbol and logo of the Centre

"It never ceases to amaze me how, at the right time, snowdrops appear one by one in my garden. There are many qualities within these little flowers, which have influenced the idea for the design of this logo. Despite the elements they convey a sense of hope as they persevere in growth, by pressing through hard, cold ground as these tiny delicate flowers fight for survival. Their size could suggest insignificance but their presence is always welcomed. Their beauty and individuality is as unique as a snowflake’s.

Also within the design is a spiral, which to me suggests constant change and outward development".
