Greenpower is a collection of ultramarine blue growth forms that was created while making, on top of the Zuidplein shopping center. "The premise is that a strong force of nature would have found a way in its own way from the ventilation shafts and air conditioning systems of the shopping center, to which the fast food stores are connected," according to the makers. In addition, there is a liana-like plant structure in black, white and gray made of wool felt. All color has disappeared from this structure due to the situation on the roofs. The ultramarine growth forms appear to be a mixture of plants and animals, capable of taking over the area. For the artists, the combination of the material, the subject and the location was particularly successful.
