• Positioned along the historic railway line that once served as the lifeblood of Swansea's industrial heritage and perched atop a disused coal drop, this public art piece pays homage to the city's rich history while embracing its vibrant future.

    Crafted from materials that nod to Swansea's legacy as a global metallurgy hub, the installation stands as a testament to the city's role in shaping the world's copper production. Its form, reminiscent of the rhythmic cadence of train tracks, speaks to the enduring spirit of innovation and progress that defines Swansea's identity.

    Layers of history intertwine, ensuring contextual appropriateness and a sense of continuity with Swansea's past. Its design, partly inspired by the historic swing bridge that once spanned the south dock, stands as a tribute to Swansea's maritime legacy. Its form also references iconic waves of the historic South Wales Docks logo, serves as a reminder of the city's enduring resilience.

    But this art piece aims to be more than just a tribute to the past—it's a beacon of connectivity and community. The piece serves as a screen for residents but is also permeable offering a glimpse into the future with views of the new arena development and integrates with the immediate context by echoing the balustrading that lines the nearby waterfront.
