Art piece in fine restaurant "Ilmatar"

The artwork is inspired form the section 48: 213-238 of the Kalevala-Venetian smalti and gold

A knife spun out of the sky from the clouds a dirk came down its tip gold, its blade silver to the belt of the sun's son;

so the worthy sun's son caught that knife with his hands and with it he splits the pike slashes the wide-mouth: in the grizzled pike's belly the pale trout is found; in the pale trout's belly, there was the smooth whitefish.

And he split the smooth whitefish and got a blue ball from the whitefish's gut, from the third twist; unwound the blue ball and from the blue ball a red ball dropped out: undid that red ball and in the red ball found the tine of fire which had come from heaven through the clouds had dropped off the eight heavens down from the ninth sky.
