Rooms to Honor, Walls to Inspire, Gardens to Understand

The spirit of this proposal lies in the intertwined ideas of light and shadow, presence and absence. With 116,516 punctures, a textured wall to inspire, rises from the ground defining a threshold. A wall is simultaneously present because of its scale, but also absent with the perforations to represent the lives lost in World War I. The wall connects in the ground, rests on the ground, soars above the ground. Carved fields in the park create gardens to understand. Articulations of the edge shape figurative rooms to honor.
