Ari Korolainen invited to design something special to near the lake. Something what peopel can see from the lake or from the shore. Korolainen designed a group of light pos without the bottom. Pots are about 180 cm high. so that normal person can not see inside of it. Big pots are made of two parts whic you put around a growing tree. And led light inside of it is gives a light all over. This work is one of about ten artwork in "shore gallery". You can look at it far from the lak or just beside. At the same time it is like a mark where the harbour is,far from the lake it looks lie a small flower in a pot, but it is getting bigger when you are coming close of harbour. You will never forget it when you saw it first time
