Laila Pellinen: Daughter of the Baltic Sea (1971).

The Monument to Maila Talvio, the daughter of the Baltic Sea, is a monument to the author Maila Talvio and his wife, Professor J. J. Mikkola, made by sculptor Laila Pullinen in the Meilahti villa area of Helsinki. The monument was erected in 1971 and a work of landscape art called the Baltic Sea was added around it in 1992. The work is located in Maila Talvio Park next to the intersection of Seurasaarentie and Tallbonkuja, on the site of Talvio's former home.

The Daughter of the Baltic Sea is an abstract bronze sculpture, helical in shape and opening upwards. The convex outer surface is mostly smooth, at the bottom of the work and on the concave side the surface is corrugated as if shaped by natural forces. The work is meant to depict the fiery spirit of Winter and can be seen to resemble a flame. The height of the bronze part is four meters. The name of the sculpture is borrowed from Talvio's novel trilogy The Daughter of the Baltic Sea, written in 1929–1936, which is a historical novel set in 18th-century Helsinki. The Baltic Sea, designed according to Pullinen's plans, is a work of earth art placed around the daughter of the Baltic Sea, consisting of artificial ridges resembling sea waves. Source: Wikipedia
