Meet Pia the Peacekeeper
According to her artist, Thomas Dambo, Pia “is like a playful troll, because she is playing with the humans, but she’s also a little bit scary, because she’s kind of strong, like a little girl can sometimes by accident break a leg or poke an eye out or light a fire to the hair of her doll,” Dambo said. “Don’t upset Pia, because you might lose a leg.” Read Pia’s Poem Here.
Thomas Dambo is considered the world’s leading recycle artist, and is famous for his various art installations around the world, most notably his Troll sculptures. Pia is one of the NW Trolls, Way of the Bird King project, presented by Scan Design Foundation.
Significant funding for Pia was provided by Scan Design Foundation, the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, and private donors. With additional funding coming from many individual donors and numerous businesses.
