A chapel
Visit Mountbatten Isle of Wight's chapel to see a remarkable installation inspiring reflection and solace.

Island artist Sue Paraskeva created the piece, which was commissioned by a generous anonymous donor before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.


2,000 deaths a year on the Isle of Wight.

The installation, consisting of 2,000 suspended ceramic discs, is a poignant tribute to the Isle of Wight community. Each disc symbolises the average number of annual deaths on the Island, encapsulating the essence of life's fragility.


A powerful reminder.

As the delicate discs sway gently in the Chapel's space, they offer a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of life and the importance of cherishing every moment — evoking a sense of peace and contemplation among patients, families, staff, volunteers and visitors alike.
