Elävä hiljaisuus – Hietaniemen hautausmailla / Living Silence – In the Hietaniemi Cemetery, 2002
The Hietaniemi cemetery illustrates both Helsinki and Finland’s history by bringing the past back. Time alludes the visitor to this green island in the heart of the city, near the sea.
This book takes you through the cemetery’s many fascinating periods, by leading you to memorials; works of art; describing the fates of people; showing you nature with its animals and tempts you to discovery a one of a kind cultural grove where four denominations come together.
The changing faces of the seasons are shown–the eternal cycle where decay brings about new life. It’s the sacred ground of the deceased, which also gives nutrients to life’s joys.
