Written Concept
A anchor to repesent P.K.Yonge and a kupak to represent Nayrn.
Letter to the Mayor
Dear Mayor Lauren Poe,
My name is Caiden Lee. I’m an 8th grade student at P.K. Yonge, and I am designing a work of installation art to represent the friendship between Gainesville and Nayrn.
I’d like to propose large anchor like scluture, approximately eight feet high, ten feet wide, and two feet deep – just taller than a human being to inspire awe while remaining approachable. This concrete sculpture, in the form of a anchor and a kulpak (to represent Gainesville and Nayrn), would embody the growing relationship between Nayrn and Gainesville that began in 2020. Please see the attached drawings for more detail.
Ideally, the sculpture would be installed prominently in both Gainesville and Nayrn. The Sister Cities Pavilion in front of City Hall on the side walk in Gainesville would be a perfect location. The proposed location in Nayrn is yet to be determined.
I hope my artwork will show the connection between Nayrn and Gainesville.
Thank you for your consideration,
Caiden Lee
