Hiisi 2022

Place: Lohja City

Material: Stainless steel

Size: 2800x1700x1000 mm

The Hiisi sculpture got its idea from old Finnish folk tales. Hiisi was once a place of worship or a spirit being.

In the Hiisi sculpture, the human face stretches and becomes fish-like. When viewed from the side, the sculpture is like an archipelago, from the back it looks like a fish and from the front it looks like a human face or scull.

The body of the sculpture consists of overlapping laser-cut steel sheets. Mirror-polished steel plates form a visual labyrinth. In the water, the fish's scaly surface is sometimes streamlined and inconspicuous, sometimes sparklingly beautiful.
