Gateway
Sculpture series, on-going series from 2024.
Paula Pääkkönen is exploring the theme of change with these Gateway sculptures, that lead to other worlds. Drawing from childhood memories where a tree bent by the weight of snow or a secret spring in the forest would represent a “fairy gate”. Passing through a fairy gate holding a wish in your mind, you would emerge on the other side. As if you had stepped into a new world, a new reality, where your wish was already true.
Pilvilinna
Light Sculptures
On-going series starting from 2021
“Pilvilinna (Pilvi = cloud, linna=castle) is a Finnish word representing the dreams we build in our heads especially when we’re young.
The ability to form Pilvilinnas even when we grow older is something to be valued. The world develops, grows and changes through our dreams made into reality.”

“I’m often inspired by the memory of a child’s imagination, as it turns common things magical and makes the proportions of the world vary and change in time. With these popsicles I wanted to explore the memories of my happy childhood summers.”
