Leaves Mynämäki Library Wall Mounted Sculpture : Turku Libraries The Youth Group and Cultural Media Trip Through Finland. A Finnish Cultural Media Crossing the Finnish project was created with a local youth group. The work was based on Antti Lizelius’s work as the founder of the first Finnish-language newspaper. We looked at different forms of writing poems are written with a quill and ink, an antique typewriter and an old cell phone.

In it we interwove our initials and a new song we wrote about the evolution of language.
