A sculpture by acclaimed British artist Tracey Emin has been unveiled on a public art trail.
The work, entitled A Moment Without You, can be found at Three Mills and features five bronze birds perched above head height.
In part, the work aims to show how fragile life is, reflecting the experience of many in the pandemic as well as the artist's battle with cancer.
Ms Emin said: "The birds are small, tiny, delicate, fragile, like we are as human beings.
"I’ve always had the idea that birds are angels of this earth and that they represent freedom."
The work is part of The Line, which was established in 2015 as London's first dedicated public art walk.
Megan Piper, director of The Line, said: "This is a rare opportunity for Londoners to experience Emin’s work in public.
"The Line has offered sanctuary across this challenging year and I hope that this work will provide a moment of contemplation and reflection."
