Why this petition matters

Started by Halle Ballard

A couple months ago I photoshopped image of one of my sculptures at an inhabitable scale in a public park in Philadelphia. I posted this photoshopped image on my Instagram, never thinking that it would be taken seriously. Many people were excited by the false news that my sculpture would be built publicly on a large scale. They sent me numerous congratulatory messages, and shared it with their friends, which I ended up feeling a bit guilty about. But over all, I was flattered by how seriously people took the fake project and excited by the possibility of making it real. I owe it to the people, as well as myself, to put in the effort of making this public sculpture a reality. 

I would like to add this petition to a formal proposal that I'll make to The Philadelphia Art Commission at a later date. 

Thank you for your support
