The subject matter and palette of Sheltering Sky were chosen with the day-care centre operating in the building in mind. The work consists of a painted concrete panel, with the motif repeated in relief inside the medallion in its centre. The work is also known as Touch.
On the other side of the building there is another work by Pertti Kukkonen, Serpent in Paradise. The work covers the entire length of the wall and even spills onto the wall of the next building.
