Written Concept
The inspiration between this artwork of Gainesville and Kfar-Saba are two unique places educational places. They both share the relationship of being interestingly amazing due to the fact they have many creations.
Letter to the Mayor
Dear Mayor Lauren Poe,
My name is Laila Larris. I’m an 7th grade student at P.K. Yonge, and I will be designing a work of installation art to represent the friendship/relations between my current city Gainesville Fl and KFAR_SABA. I’d like to make a large creation with maily 2 colors yellow and green for both , butterflies, and blocks representing a logo of KFAR-SABA and a logo of Gainesville. Which will be approximately 4 feet high, 3 feet wide, and two feet deep – These sculpture, in the form of a colored ring (to represent Kfar-Saba) and an Blue square as the main thing shown in gainesville which is the water (to respresent Gainesville), would embody the growing relationship between Kfar-Saba Gainesville that began in 2015. Please see the attached drawings for more detail. The sculpture would be fashioned from pressure treated live oak/pine or cedar to evoke the native flora of Gainesville/Kfar-Saba while also being strong and resistant to weather. Ideally, the sculptures would be installed in both Gainesville and Kfar-Saba as an honor and milestone. I hope my artwork will inspire all people of Gainesville to learn about Mejdlaya. When someone looks at it, I hope they think about how big the world is, creative the world is,to learn about the people in it, and how we have friends on the other side of the world that want to meet us and share their culture with us for a great experience. It will bring our cities closer together, it will celebrate our friendship, and it will make the world at once more thankful and more accessible to the people of Mejdlaya and Gainesville.
Thank you,
Laila Larris
