Fantastic job and amazing. Copper tourch looks from top before the light like a flower.
Yes I agree, Mr. Heatherwick’s intention was to represent the unity of all the world countries in the olympic games through the unity of all the copper petals to create this magnificent flame. This piece definitely is one of a kind.
