Kneeling Knight consists of a large knight character and a two-sided mural that surrounds it. The quote “Be still my beating heart” is from William Mountfort’s ”Zelmane”. The oft-quoted sentence has since appeared in several literary contexts and is associated with a moment when a character is confronted with something impressive. Nowadays, the expression is often used in a sarcastic sense.
Kneeling Knight was a featured piece in the Wonderland X demolition art exhibition, held in Kerava, Finland. This groundbreaking event brought together 240 of Finland's most esteemed street and fine art professionals, transforming a 4,000-square-meter former mall into a vibrant artistic showcase. The exhibition was a resounding success, attracting over 44,000 visitors and leaving a lasting impression on the Finnish art scene.
