Considering the community that my monument would be placed in, as someone who is not a part of that community, was the main aspect that shaped my monument’s idea. I wanted to create this monument knowing other people could relate to the core meaning even if it was personal to me. This piece reflects on the feeling of moving to a completely new country and doing the best to make this space feel like home. I wanted to speak about how London has become a home to not only myself but to so many other people who have moved here for a new chapter in their life. When thinking about it’s placement, I knew that this piece had to be in Hyde Park and that it’s composition had to work well with its surroundings. During my site visit, I took notice of what current sculptures and monuments existed in the park, as well as past and temporary pieces that I found on Google. I thought about creating a water fountain, which later turned into a wishing well to further emphasize the hopes and dreams that a community can have as a whole and as an individual.
