Enoch Light

What does the sculpture in the St Enoch’s sq Tube Station in Glasgow represent and who made it?
There’s this object (I can only describe it as a sculpture) in the entrance to St Enoch’s sq underground station in Glasgow. It’s a solid round piece of steel mounted at an angle on the ground with what looks like a light beam or telescope or …..whatever pointing down on it from above. Anyone have any idea what it is.
Hi! Here are a number of links about the sculptor.
The information should lead you to your answer.
I hope this helps!
