38 road signs screwed on an aluminium band, winded around an aluminium bar

(400 x 80 x 110 cm)This sculpture, unexpected, has been done in south Finland, in febbruary 2011.
Each selected road sign, contains a double meaning. The signs show as well a way to a street, a path, as refer to Finland, its geography, myths, olds crafts and its landscapes.
The sculpture installed by a crossroads, permit us to keep in mind the first function of the road signs, and, in the same time, a part of the landscape, in having a tree aspect.
Moreover, their luminescent properties, in particular lighted up at night time, evoques a winter landscape, or show us a constellation of poetic words that bring us back to the title.
