Go there and contact
She is a sculptor, Eila Hiltunen, who pays tribute to the famous composer Sibelius by a fairly original contemporary work. Indeed it sticks hundreds of tubes to each other. Located in the Sibelius park, north of the city centre, the work (Passio Speculum) has been established as one of Helsinki's masterpieces. " The steel forest, "as the Helsinkiens called it, caused much controversy. Made up of 580 tubes of steel, of uneven length, in the image of some imaginary, conifères organ reminiscent of the importance of nature in the composer's work. The monument does not usually leave anyone indifferent. The head of Sibelius, close to a rock, seems almost unusual in this context… Eila Hiltunen delivered a similar work at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
