Maya Lin

I have only been able to view Maya Lin's works in photos and film. I love the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and was able to see the traveling version of it when I was in elementary school (but it isn't the same). My favorite of her works is the Civil Rights Memorial (this site has an amazingly powerful slideshow). I would love to be able to view that in real life.

Maya Lin was 21 years old when her design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was accepted. After working on that and the Civil Rights memorial, she stopped designing memorials.

You can go here to view some of her more recent works.
