Concept
- I intend to build is a series of weapons that
will both empower and conceptually challenge
people to take back small pockets of the
cityscape. - Using an iconic weapon such as an
AK47, the user will send bursts of ivy seeds
against run-down urban areas that will then grow
over buildings, thereby mimicking the ability of
nature to dominate.

invasive species
English Ivy (hedera helix l. ) - a
species of ivy that can grow over a hundred
feet in length - non-native species that
thrives in the new york city environment -
though invasive and highly effective it can
pave the way for future plants
