Yhdessä / Together

Anna-Lea Kopperi kertoo kastanjapuun ympärille kirkkopuistoon paratiisigraniitista toteuttamastaan ympäristöveistoksesta:
“I found a big Chestnut in Vejby Churchyard in Denmark. I admired 
the strength, beauty and massiveness of this old tree. So I wanted to 
draw attention to the situation, to bring people together under the lovely breeze-ruffled leaves. I made two curved paradise-granite benches around the tree. I worked on the first semicircular bench in its 
final upright position, the other one I worked on and finally also left 
upside down. The tree unites these existentially ”different” halves like in a church Holy Communion, our own semi-circle meets the other semi-circle of our forefathers in heaven.”
