Construction workers are a force of deconstruction and construction. Tearing structures down and building them up at the same time and thus transforming a former familiar environment. The outsider might recognise them by their yellow helmets also referred to as „hardhats“ and their neon vests, which function as a uniform and a element of safety. Overtime this uniform has become a symbol of creation and destruction, yet the individual worker remains anonymous for the outsider.
