The Design

I want the monument to be the statue of Trang Yi known as Co Trang, the goddess of the moon. I want the statue to have 4 parts to it. The tall gold flower base www representing the harvest- the gold base would have all the crops and flowers and it would bulge out of the base and would be shiny. The base would be very tall- tall as the statue. The second part is the 5-way prism, and the third part would be the Co Trang dress. Her dress would be Ao Dai (A traditional Vietnamese Dress) These 2 parts would alternate with each other. First come the dress then the prism is like half of an octagon shape that would be where the moon is a reflecting to the prism to look like there is 5-6 other moons looking through it. Then come the dress/the body and then the prism and so for- about 6 times alternations. The final base part would be on top of her head, and it would be a flower (the white lotus) it would be a transparent red materials that represent a pattern and would made out of sturdy wood material.

The location

The statue would be near the mason pond behind JC because it has a lot of open space for a lantern parade and an open space for grass. The pond would also add beaty to the statue and since it is an open space.

Another place I would like the statue to would be in Vietnam at their capital city,

Hanoi near a famous lake-the Hoan Kiem Lake because it is the heart of the city. The statue can brighten up lights during the night. She would be built behind the lake shrine
