This 4.5 meter high bronze monument stands in front of the Kaleva Church in Liisanpuisto. It was created in 1973 by the sculptor Terho Sakki.
Kalevala is a 19th-century epic poem compiled by Elias Lönnrot from Karelian and Finnish folklore and mythology.
The first poem of the Kalevala describes the creation of the world through the explosion of a snail egg. The egg falls into the water and breaks into pieces. The upper part becomes the sky, the moon, the sun and the stars, and the lower part is the earth's crust.
This sculpture is like the first explosion. The spongy form rises from a flat base and extends into the sky.
