Administration's two parts form a whole with allusions to the sea and freedom . The sea is what unites us Åland and also unites us with the outside world . With the work of art form , I wanted to create an opening in the chamber . mirror effect makes waves " live " but also blends in with the surroundings by showing its colors .

Jury's appreciation
Administration '' , which is stylized with a naturalistic element , has both a two and a tredimensionalitet in the room . Painting and sculpture in harmony with and complementary. Art Board painting in the middle taking up the soft and warm and provides a perspective in the room . At the same time also gives the sculptural metal waves due to form a soft impression , despite the hard material . The shiny material leads the viewer to associate the attributes typical Åland Sea and solglitter . The artist has used the room through artwork grows up towards the ceiling and gives an impression of infinity . The work is very aesthetically pleasing and blends with the building and the colors and shapes .
