Why did you pick this? Health professionals are volunteering to work in the field for very little money, providing free relief to people in impoverished areas.
What do you want people to know about it? MSF is a humanitarian foundation which recruits nurses, surgeons, physicians, midwives, pharmacists, lab technicians and administrators from all over the world to work in the areas that need the most attention for outbreaks, disease, malnutrition, mental health issues and natural disasters. Once MSF has provided relief and the area has improved, the locals are able to take over operations. The care they provide is free and available to anyone in need. 88 cents of every donated dollar goes directly toward the services. There are more 30,000 workers in the field on any given day. MSF has conducted more than 8.3 million consultations, 78,000 surgical procedures and delivered over 185,000 babies in approximately 70 countries since 1971. This foundation views the entire world as a community. All of humanity is important.What would make a good monument/artwork to communicate your ideas on that cause/idea? My idea for a monument is a walk-through structure accessible from all four sides. In the middle, there is a statue of a doctor with a stethoscope. The roof represents the security that the doctors provide.
What would it look like? What would it be made of? Structured building. 10 feet tall, made of smooth concrete
Where would it be? In the heart of Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States
Who is it for? Everyone
Good job Brittney- so the topic is access to health care or recognition of MSF workers? I like the open structure of your sculpture because that speaks to democratic access- maybe you can keep going with that idea?
