Drops of Loviisa

The intent behind this masterpiece was to evoke a subtle and almost imperceptible shift in the ambient atmosphere within its sculptural elements. The ability to fine-tune the colour temperature and intensity of the external lighting played a pivotal role in achieving this vision. Inside the droplets, the lighting system is thoughtfully programmed to undergo a gradual transition from warm to cool hues and then back again, creating an immersive experience for viewers. Furthermore, the external lighting was skillfully adjusted on-site to harmonize seamlessly with the overall composition of the sculpture.

'The sculpture is welded from stainless steel. It features changing illumination achieved through eight Griven Jupiter Dynamic White lights and a Visual Productions light controller. The goal for this piece was to create a subtle and almost unnoticed transition of atmosphere within the sculptural elements. It was also important for the exterior lights to have adjustable color temperature and intensity. Inside the drops, the color temperature of the lights is programmed to slowly shift from warm to cool and back again. The balance of the exterior lights was adjusted on-site to suit the overall composition,' states the artist Tapio Haapala.  

Testifying once again the deep connection between light and art, this unconventional sculpture delivers a deep emotional impact to the whole area at night.
