Art Proposal

Art Proposal for location: 801 Barton Springs Road, Austin, TX 

Budget : $38,000 

Dimensions : 12" X 16" at its widest point

This piece I present to you today has one main goal; to bring people together that once were strangers and fill our hearts with love that we all would like to share. This structure will resemble a heart-shaped lock. Pedestrians would pass through, entering in the key hole and circle around to a opening in the back of the lock. As they enter they would be encouraged to take a marker and write on the walls on the inside of the structure telling what that individual is addicted to. When there is no more room the walls will remain full for one month and then repainted to allow this piece to be interactive. As they exit they will realize that everyone is different but we are all alike in that we have something that eat away at us. It can destroy us when we are left to fight alone but united we can conquer all with love.

Engraved on the walls -

(Entrance) All alike but oh so different, please list here to what you are addicted...

(Leading to the Exit) There is only one thing that can unlock this lock that weighs on me, the key is simple but oh so hard to see, open your hearts, live in love and together we'll break free
