Monument

Initial Brainstorm:

Self portrait as a world conqurer?

Piles of dead animals creating a fountain with an oil drill to place on the shores of the gulf coast

Jesus on a vagina with his middle fingers up in the middle east

A huge tomb shaped like my head

Statue of liberty with a big thumbs down on the west coast somewhere

*Solid Idea!!!!

An uncle sam type or ex president on a huge platform in the middle of the garbage pile (great pacific garbage patch)  

The idea is that america’s waste products have become the new final frontier to conquer. 

Maybe a monopoly man wearing the uncle same costume.  

This is the product of capitalistic competition.  America owns this land: We've worked hard for it.

He’ll be holding an American flag like an astronaut instead of the cane but in his classic stance.  Since America is the number one producer of garbage in the world it only makes sense to treat this island like any others previously involved in manifest destiny.

At some point this island may have realestate value or at least a mobile military base, and if that were the case we’d be the first ones to claim it as our own.

The North Pacific Gyre is where the largest of the garbage islands (North Pacific Garbage Patch) is located.  Maybe we will some day use it as a fueling station for deep sea drilling rigs.

I plan on using Sketchup to create a 3D model of "The Monopoly Sam" and his flag, as well as try to create a scale model of the garbage patch itself because the patch doesn't currently exist in Google Earth.

I might just overlay an image done in photoshop of a collage of garbage images to shortcut creating a 3D environment, but hypothetically speaking, I could create one in Unity.
