Finland Pavilion

130 X 194 cm     ac     2010/9/9

The Finland Pavilion is surrounded by a lake, appearing to float on the water. It has the slogan “Sharing Inspiration,” where ideas can meet and mix. The design draws inspiration from Finnish nature. Elements reinterpreted in the pavilion include the shape of small rocks found on coastal islands, the surface of a fish, reflection on water, framed view of the sky and smell of tar on wood.

Chen depicts the Finland Pavilion along with “floating bubbles” highlighting some of the content of the inside exhibitions. Finnish cultural elements such as Santa Claus, saunas, skiing, Nokia, and sketches of the beautiful landscape provide an interesting and artistic impression of this Nordic country.
