Let's talk

Geometric colorful mural consisting of pink, orange and green circles made in 2019. The artwork was created using mineral paint.

The artist worked with young people from the area, who contributed their thoughts, ideas and feelings. Their stories included the footbridges that spiral towards the nearby Lunda industrial area, and the pink cherry trees that are usually one of the most beautiful features of the neighbourhood.

Based on these descriptions, Mari Rantanen created a pattern of moving circles, representing growing energy, together with cherry blossoms as a symbol of new life. The speech bubbles around the windows represent the different voices of people from Hjulsta and encourage conversation and openness between them.
