'Zeta' memorialises a period in time when copper ore was transported by sea from South American ports to Swansea for smelting. The outside faces of the block accommodate a depiction of the 'Zeta' copper ore barque, copper waterfall, copper curtain and, on the east face, pieces of copper slag which was collected on the site of White Rock copper works. The rotating funnels indicates wind direction and house a harmonica sound element whose bass and treble sections face two directions. There is a copper flame at the top of the artwork.
