In the heart of Gothenburg, a bronze statue of Swedish writer Karin Boye, created by local artist Peter Linde, faces Avenyn, the city's main boulevard. Flowers are often left at her hands, creating a living work of art. In Gothenburg, the statue is placed on a low marble plinth, gazing out over the city's avenue. In contrast, the statue in Huddinge sits alone, on a bench in the town's central park. Peter Linde's inspiration was drawn from Boye's poems 'Önskan' and 'Jag vil möta'.
