Featuring a series of highly recognisable visual elements, this playful work is guaranteed to catch your attention but also offers plenty of opportunities for personal reflection and interpretation. The familiar features – a grand piano lid, a log pile and a fish head – resonate with the urban landscape surrounding the Music Centre and the wider Töölönlahti Bay. Lighter than its shadow, the sculpture blends effortlessly into its setting, continuing to influence people’s experience of it whether they are actively stopping to take it in or not. Song Trees is inspired by The Pike’s Song (1928), a poem by Finnish writer Aaro Hellaakoski (1893–1952).
