Two swans taking flight, mounted on separate bases on top of the brick walls either side of the walkway. The sculptor said that the two birds taking flight served as a ‘perfect symbol for a new company being launched’ and that the sculpture reflected her concern over the large number of swans along the Thames that were dying of strangulation as a result of being entangled in fishing lines.
