Nonstop is a three-metre-high steel wall at the Rastila metro station. It consists of 16 steel plates with a combined length of 32 metres and it weighs some 8000 kg. Some of the plates are polished stainless steel and are almost like mirrors. Others are painted glossy black using a car-painting technique, while yet others are in varying states of corrosion and decay. The use of both corroded and clean stainless steel is a comment on the dialogue between the transient and the permanent.
