Congratulations! You must be very excited. I sure would be excited to have such a wonderful project. I do not know your medium. But, these times are about globalization and humanity finally becoming all connected because of air travel and communications technology and the Internet. There are troubles associated with so many different cultures bumping into each other. But, nevertheless, we are now becoming more connected than we ever have before. We also have bigger challenges than we ever have had before, including global warming, new diseases, finding effective alternative energy because oil is running out by 2070, nuclear dangers, clashes of cultures and learning how to get along without taking our differences to war. This is also a time when the common man in every land is concerned about power and money accumulating in fewer and fewer hands. Freedom is the common goal of all peoples. One must be able to think for oneself to remain free. We strive to educate our children so that they can think for themselves and to have the wisdom to remain free and to build better societies. We do have most wonderful commonalities . . .our love for our children, our hopes for their futures, their right to a good education, and a dream of peace without enslavement. To harmonize with the time and place, a "memorial" would be about these hopes and dreams. Children, education, optimism, peace and freedom. If I had such an exciting project, I would consider weaving those hopes and dreams in an explosion of joy that spiralled upwards in an airy way, in a double helix within a double helix, like our common DNA. You should let us know someday what you create. I would very much like to see it.
