This is a memorial sculpture for the many merchant seamen from Cardiff, Penarth and Barry that died caught up in armed conflict. viewed from one side it is at once a bold face shaped out of metal and from the other side the hollow hull of a ship on it's side meant to replicate the ghostly wreck on the sea floor. This trick of seeing the same object in two completely different ways (a sort of optical illusion) was used by Dali amongst others in a number of his works..The sense of changing perspective invites us to look more closely at the object to work out its true meaning.This is really impressive when seen up close (even though i am not a huge fan of sculpture myself)
