Outside Helsinki's city centre, the Sibelius monument can be found in a park near the seashore. It is a curious example of modern art.
Before she could go ahead, she had to add a figurative element to the abstract monument as a compromise with all those who were opposed to her initial proposal. This now is all far behind us and the monument has gained an important spot in many tourists' itineraries on visits to the Finnish capital. Approaching from the seaside, the monument appears from behind the trees of the park it stands in. It is a collection of some 600 stainless steel tubes wielded together and elaborated by the artist. During the four years of welding and constructing the monument, the artist developed chronic bronchial asthma because of exposition to toxic fumes.
