L'Alliance designed by French artist Jean-Bernard Metais, the massive 80 feet tall Arrow and Hoop design, makes it a landmark sculpture. located at The Hayes on one side and the new development, including Cardiff Library, on the other.
“Alliance is an outstanding piece of public art that cannot be missed and will communicate visual images of words bilingually, which I’m sure will become an instantly recognisable landmark, and hopefully a place where people will not only congregate, but use as a place to meet and enjoy the full experience of the capital city.
Paid for by the St David’s shopping centre as part of a £1.5m public art scheme in the city centre, the sculpture’s hoop is partially submerged under the pavement and a mechanism is programmed to make it rise and fall in time with the tide.
It is also filled with a liquid that glows at night." Text Source:
