Interestingly bee’s wings feature on Salford’s Armorial Bearings of the City, referring to the textiles and engineering industries that thrived in the city. The seed could be taken to look similar to a giant pair of bee’s wings and this visual relationship also links the sculpture with traditional imagery and symbols used to identify the City of Salford. It is part of the Irwell Sculpture Trail.
