Each Eternal Flame Sculpture is a one of a kind sculpture that will never be repeated. Although their bright colors and cheerful look could fool you, they are made from 100% recycled steel.

The shadows they cast are also a part of the piece, doubling or distorting the form, mirroring the sculpture on the wall.
