Proposal for National SARS-COVID-19 Memorial

[Asher Kelman]

Hopefully at the City Hall of Long Beach California. I have submitted my plan but so will many, many talented artists from Southern California and a internationally!

Al least I am proud to have made my best effort and thrown my hat into the ring. That allows us rewarding and brings satisfaction.

Here is the design from the front: children playing in 2” of bubbling water.

In the inside, a place for sanctity and meditation and I imagine videos on Covid too.

 

[Robert Watcher]

What an undertaking Asher. I am very impressed. And confident that you can follow through on the work of art if you are commissioned - based on your last project that you showed us.

 

[Jerome Marot]

Very impressive, I hope to be able one day to come and visit it. What is the hanging structure on the side?

 

[Andy brown]

Great design Asher.
Good luck.

Thanks so much for your attention, Robert, Andy and Jérôme!

It’s all theoretical and a dream. It has to be that I am first a finalist and then win the commission!

However, I can build it anywhere, but only once of this exact design.

The spiral will be mRNA as I believe this introduce a new miraculous way of having the body create custom proteins that could cure or mitigate many metabolic processes!

Very impressive indeed! I hope that you will get the commission to realized this. I will come to see it some day.

Impressive dear Asher, I like the way the spiral is in the same time outside (on the left on the thumbnail of the video ) and hang up inside with the photos you added. The element is both inside/outside. So to me the building is a symbol of the human body, and I love the skin of the material you use for the left side and the holes of light ! Keep us in touch !

[Charlotte Thompson]

Super spiritual, wonderfully done. I truly love it. What a great work Asher I’m proud of you go man go.

 

[Paul Iddon]

I am amazed at the creativity - way beyond my capability - and worthy of the effort.

Paul.

 

[Asher Kelman]

Cem, Charlotte, Romain and Paul,

What generous comments. I am sure the other competing artist will be very competitive. I hope they publish all the competing creative proposals, as that will be very meaningful in itself!

However, most competitions are highly secretive!

[Ignacio “Oscar” Molina]

This is just breathtaking, every project you work on is just more meaningful and avant-garde.

Keep sharing them!

Ignacio, Madrid, Spain!

 

[Maggie Terlecki]

Wow, Asher, so glad I also watched the short video as it really gives us a wonderful understanding of this impressive piece and Covid was and still is such a huge thing, it needed the piece to be very special and let people move through it. I'm impressed but then, you are always creating impressive things that most of us would never attempt.

I hope you get chosen but even if you are not, you can be very proud of this work! It is quite magnificent and stunning as it should be!

Bravo!

 

[Antonio Correia]

Yes, this is Art indeed !

Asher, the Artist, YES !
