Bad Bad Boy - Helsinki's Manneken Pis

Peeing in public is not nice. But when a 8.5-metre-tall baby boy does it, there is something sympathetic about it.
One night at the beginning of August, this amazed and a bit embarrassed giant boy appeared next to the Finnair Sky Wheel by the Market Square.
It is Tommi Toija's sculpture called Bad Bad Boy, and a part of the sculptor's exhibition called Mutatis Mutandis at Amos Anderson Art Museum.
The sculpture reminds me of the Manneken Pis in Brussels, but this "little one" has a lovely expression on his face:
he looks somehow uncomfortable and not at all boastful like Manneken Pis does.
I feel for him.
