The motif is based on Hundertwasser's work of art 877 "Onionraindome and Tears". Onion towers are characteristic elements in Hundertwasser's architecture and can also be found in many paintings. "Architecture should elevate man, not humiliate, oppress and enslave him. A golden onion tower on your own house elevates the resident to the status of a king." In Onionraindome and Tears architecture and nature are combined. Rain symbolizes the natural element. The motif "The Antipodes" is based on Hundertwasser's work of art 928B "Antipode King". In geographical terminology antipode describes a person who lives diametrically opposite to a place on earth. The origin of the term is from Greek language and means people with feet on their heads. The Antipodes Islands are a small group of islands near New Zeland, which are diametrically opposite to Greenwich.
