(Primary) A Proposal for a Repurposed Ocean Waste Statue to be Placed at Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey Bay, CA.

 The primary imagery of the statue is going to be a giant sea turtle with a piece of plastic out of its nose. The reason that I am choosing to do this as a monument is that the sea turtles are something that symbolizes peace and calmness as well as wisdom and good luck. The sea turtle is viewed as a creature that does no harm to other animals but seems to be the most affected animal. 

I want the statue to be made out of bronze or some kind of long-lasting metal, the reason for this is so that the statue can be preserved over a long period of time. Having it made out of metal will also help with its weight. This can be helpful if someone were to maybe bump the statue and it were to fall over. 

The visual overview of this statue is going to try and help prevent the amount of trash and other things that are making the sea a more dangerous place to live for marine life.

(MEmorial) A Proposal for a Repurposed Ocean Waste Statue to be Placed at Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey Bay, CA.

 To me, a MEmorial is a memorial that can be recreated in place of a different memorial. The MEmorial that I chose to replace was the plastic whale that is located in the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The memorial that I am going to replace it with is going to be a sea turtle, with trash around it. The turtle will also have a straw that is hanging out of its nose to help symbolize how extreme things can be. There are many other MEmorials in the world, our Professor has made one and he still has it to this day. MEmorials can help relay other messages as well, if a statue were to be replaced people are going to notice. Some people are not used to having things be different, that is why I think that replacing MEmorials around the world will help everyone.

(Definition) A Proposal for a Repurposed Ocean Waste Statue to be Placed at Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey Bay, CA.

 The word memorial means something that is dedicated to someone or something that has done something great or has served a great cause. There are plenty of memorials in the world that showcase all sorts of great things humans have done. My personal favorite memorial is the Jackie Robinson Memorial. Jackie was the first African American to play professional baseball. To me, a memorial has been placed for my Mother back in my hometown at our baseball field because of all the great accomplishments she had achieved for our field.  A memorial can be anything you want it to be, my Mothers memorial is a bench. It is nothing too crazy it is just a little thing to remind everyone that someone great has left their legacy on people for the future. There are things that people value and care a lot for that is what the memorial is usually meant to signify.

(Mindset) A Proposal for a Repurposed Ocean Waste Statue to be Placed at Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey Bay, CA.

 I think that the mindset that people should have the mindset to want to do better in the aspect of making the ocean a clean and safe place. The message should relay something along the lines of helping others maintain the trash that they leave on the beach. Also, there should be an effort to add garbage cans as well as maintenance crews that are on top of those things. With just that effort I believe that things can be cleaned up tremendously, a little help goes a long way. There are currently people that do these beach cleanups but some people choose not to join. It is a nice breath of fresh air, knowing that there are still people that are willing to take the time to maintain such things.  I believe that if we work together as a world animals and other life forms in the ocean can to begin to thrive again.
