Guessing she had a thing for designing memorials, here is the 3rd memorial from maya lin that i’m looking into. What she calls the last memorial is a big cone shaped ring made out of american walnut wood. This big cone is designed to create a sound and she describes this cone as the “listening cone”. her idea is to challenge people on nature and the world and “what is missing”. Meaning what is missing from the world thanks to humans? I enjoy this work as it leaves you with a question and a churning mind. this piece makes me realize the amount of extinct species thanks to human advancement and our evolution.  Although its small it leaves a big mark on me as it gives a mind challenging experience.
