Iconic Photograph of Treasure Beach’s Buttonwood Tree Up for Auction to Support BREDS Foundation
Imagine the stories encapsulated in the hauntingly beautiful image of the famous Treasure Beach Buttonwood Tree—standing resolutely on the rugged land between Jack Sprats in Calabash Bay and Frenchman’s Bay. This resilient tree has weathered countless storms, hurricanes, and adversities over the years, becoming a symbol of endurance and hope.
Now, you have a rare chance to own a piece of this poignant legacy. Up for auction is the stunning Black & White photograph titled “Journeys,” captured by the acclaimed Jamaican artist and photographer Craig Phang-Sang in 2017. This limited edition, long-exposure photograph immortalizes the Buttonwood Tree’s stoic beauty and the rugged spirit of Pedro Plains. The photograph is printed on premium canvas, mounted, and stretched as a “Gallery Wrap,” measuring 32″w x 21.5″h.
Generously donated by Craig Phang-Sang, the proceeds from this auction will support the BREDS Treasure Beach Foundation’s relief efforts for Hurricane Beryl. This photograph is more than just art; it’s a beacon of resilience and a tribute to the strength of a community that has faced immense challenges.
The photograph is currently on display at The Artist’s Gallery, located upstairs at Di Lot, 33 Constant Spring Road, St. Andrew. With the current bid at $40K JMD, this masterpiece is bound to attract higher offers as the auction progresses. It stands as the perfect centerpiece, a conversation starter about the resilience of Pedro Plains and its indomitable people.
