A stunning sculpture made from thousands of pieces of coal has been installed at Liverpool Cathedral.
The enchanting and beautiful art piece is named Coalescence and serves as a visual representation of the amount of coal required to power a single 200W light bulb for a year. Created by internationally acclaimed British designer Paul Cocksedge, the free installation will run from February 9 until March 12.
The vast sculpture, which is making its world debut at Liverpool Cathedral, spans six metres in diameter and features thousands of pieces of coal suspended from the ceiling. It's been made with more than half a tonne of coal and was crafted with anthracite, a type of coal with a high lustre, which reflects the light, adding to its beauty.
