Leverty statue

'the entrepreneur's statue' or 'Leverty', Helsinki

This statue has been in Helsinki city centre for about two years now. There was a competition to design a statue for this city square and this one won! I've never really liked it but I think it's interesting how it was made attaching simple squares together and now I've read that it's based on a penrose tiling.. which I guess we all should have known! At night there's a light inside the statue and the shadow looks really nice.
