Aptly titledNest, the artwork now lights up the night in Tallinn, Estonia.
And it all began with an idea by a 5-year-old.
Nestis located in the Noblessner port, which was a major submarine shipyard in the early 20th century.

Specifically, it is nestled at the top of a former lighting mast.
There was this post where Aunt Helen wanted to do something.
I had an idea that there would be eggs and stuff, Stina recalls.

The material also acts as a reflector for the installed lighting, producing an even brighter scene.
Crafted with repurposed materials,Nestalso takes into account the wear of the piece.
With time, the patina will increasingly blend in with the tower where it has been placed.

Overall, material choices were made with minimal need for maintenance in mind.
The artworks figure weaves together the motif of the nestbuilding homes and bringing life into them.
It all fits perfectly, says design leader Kristel Linnutaja.
