Faith Hope Love, Granite and steel sculpture in Erottaja, Finland
Faith Hope Love is a sculpture made from granite and steel located at Erottaja in southern Helsinki. The work combines heavy stone blocks with rising steel forms arranged in a geometric composition.
The work was created by Swedish artist Eva Lange in 2019 to commemorate 100 years of relations between Finland and Sweden. This public installation marks a major point in Nordic cooperation and shared history.
The sculpture's title reflects values that visitors can observe in its stark, geometric form standing in the urban landscape. The work speaks to these concepts through its bold material choices and straightforward composition rather than through decoration or detail.
The sculpture sits at a busy intersection in the business district and is easily accessible on foot from multiple directions. You can view it from various angles while passing through the area or stopping to look closer.
The granite comes from Finland while the steel has Nordic industrial origins, with the two materials together representing a partnership made from regional resources. Many visitors miss how the materials themselves tell the story of cooperation between the two countries.
