Three Moments in the Life of Chewing Gum consists of three stone sculptures and a bronze relief. The tallest of the stones (270cm) is made of red granite from Mäntsälä. The shallow stone shaped like a receptacle (with a diameter of about 160cm) and the third stone are made of red granite from Taivassalo. All three stones were fashioned using the same techniques: they were picked, burnt, and polished. The bronze relief set by the main entrance to the school depicts the three pieces of chewing gum that served as models for the sculptures.
The Pukinmäki school also houses a painting in tempera by Leonora Fredriksson, Redshanks on the Shore. In the dining hall, there is a work by Nora Tapper consisting of aspen shelves and ceramic vessels. Both works are part of the City's "% for Art projects".
