The Mosaic Wall

This is a fun mosaic. Made last year by Remakebolaget and Helen Rydberg. It is called På väg(g). A word pun that means on the way, and on the wall. There used to be a very windy bus depot above this concrete wall near the commuter station in Handen. It has now been replaced with an underground version, but the old wall is still there. There are ten smaller mosaics here, and two bigger flower pot mosaics, one at each end. I spent a few minutes there last week, photographing all of them. Around 70 locals took part in the creation of the mosaic, and some of them modelled for it. I missed the opening last year, but if I remember correctly the former PM Fredrik Reinfeldt, who used to live in the area, was there for the ceremony.
