For my final intervention, I will be solely focusing on creating a monument proposal through adobe illustrator in order to spread the message of peace involving the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. My idea for this public form of activism is to allow people to gather in an open space at their own will to enjoy a beautiful day outside surrounded by nature, this will in turn allow them to learn from the monument in a relaxed manner. As I have expressed in previous posts to the blog this topic is important to me because it correlates with research involving my major in international affairs. I also have close connections to people that are affected by this conflict and I know that peace is a message this conflict needs to hear.
The photos I attached to this post involve the formation of peace through symbolism. The main ideas I want to express in the monument is peace through historical items and cultural significance. I believe the olive branch is the best way to share my ideas for this project by allowing it to perch on top via podium. I want this monument to deeply connect to nature and have earthly tones. This is because we are all connected to the earth, war and peace are founded on the soil beneath us and I want people who are connected to this topic to also be connected to nature.
