One of many items of public artwork in and near Swansea's Maritime Quarter, the Copper Flame is in Marine Walk. The sculpture symbolises the transformation of copper ore to metal by fire, a process formerly carried out hereabouts in Swansea. The copper flame is moved by the wind, as a real flame would be, indicating wind direction.
