Public Sculpture

Why, How, What We Become

2025, Corten steel, H 350 x L 300 x W 300 cm. / H 138 x L 120 x W 120 inch.

Permanent public sculpture installed at the main entrance at the LUT University in Lappeenranta, Finland. Commissioned by the LUT University, the sculpture draws inspiration from the institution’s core values of curiosity, progress, and innovation. Combining architectural and geometric forms, it features a series of intersecting staircases that rise upward, symbolizing personal growth, advancement, and the pursuit of new perspectives. Fabricated in corten steel, the sculpture will gradually develop its final patina over time, reflecting change, endurance, and the passage of time.
