What can be a symbol for Germany? As the location is a park with mature oak trees, we thought of acorns fallen from these trees, lying scattered around. But acorns are also on Germany’s two cent coins. The other idea is about the colours tone of the acorns. We want to ask which colours represent Germany and Poland? And who sees what? A German of course sees the black red gold first, the polish white and red. Depending on your point of view you can see different “perspectives” of national flags.
