As a pacifier, Nopola came up in the monthly supplement of Helsingin Sanomat. Three collections have been published since 1997 of his pins. In his texts, Nopola can grasp the details that he develops strange general laws, for example, when words are, and of course adventure and develops mutual romance. As Nopola's pacifier, he tries to experience things that are considered important and valued, but fails in his efforts. He feels he has stayed on the beach when others experience things.[2]
Nopola was born in Helsinki and raised in Tampere. She worked as a journalist for the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat from 1979 to 1985 when she became a freelance writer. Nopola died of a prolonged illness in January 2021.[1]
