Title: Olav the Holy – the statue adorns Sarpsborg's 1000th anniversary
 Like a gleaming echo from the past, Olav the Holy emerges in a new and modern guise – monumental, majestic and timeless. His face, carved in highly polished metal, reflects not only his surroundings, but the very city he founded. Houses, sky, trees and passers-by merge in his features, reminding us how history and the present always mirror each other.
 The sunlight catches his metallic forehead, casting rays like stars in the daylight – as if something sacred and eternal is flowing through the modern surface. His face is calm but determined – a gaze that embraces a thousand years of faith, struggle and identity.
 The statue stands there as a guardian and guide, not only to Sarpsborg's past, but also to its future. It reminds us of the city's royal origins, of Olav's vision and will, but also of how far we have come. A tribute to eternal transformation, mirrored in steel.
