Creative Blog #5: The Vietnam Veteran's Memorial - 25th Year Anniversary


The "Vietnam Veteran's Memorial" is a massive black granite sculpture (November 13, 1982) designed by Maya Lin as an abstract and contemplative in nature. I created this photomontage from old postcards in remembrance to America's fallen servicemembers in the Vietnam War by superimposing their symbolic rose and the famous Washington Monument scenic view of "The Wall." It relates to our current photo collage assignment and represents the themes of art in nature, as well as, art in politics and social order. Courtesy of Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Fund.
