the ‘cola-bow’ by penda is a public art installation made out of more than 17.000 recycled plastic bottles, which are braided together to create a form influenced by the swoop in the coca-cola logo. the intervention serves as reminder to reflect on the current state of plastic pollution, aiming to encourage citizens to recycle on a regular basis.
