Maya Lin.

Abstract: (6 pp). Lin was only 21 years old when she won a nationwide competition for the design of the Vietnam Memorial, coming out on top over more than 1,400 proposals from other artists. 'The Vietnam memorial is a place where something happens within the viewer. It's like reading a book. I purposely had the names etched ragged right on each panel to look like a page from a book,' Lin said. 'I also wanted remembering the past relevant to the present. Some people wanted me to put the names in alphabetical order. I wanted them in chronological order so that a veteran could find his time within the panel. It's like a thread of life.' 5pp annotated bibliography lists 6 sources. (total 10pp)
