I decided to surround the Washington Monument with identical pink versions. I chose the pink color because I wanted them to be an obscene, bright, obnoxious color that people would be forced to look at. I chose to surround the Washington Monument because I wanted to imitate how the American flags surround it in real life, and I wanted to make the monument larger than it was in real life. Since DC is such a flat city, I wanted there to be more than one building that was taller than the capitol building, and have them be really obnoxious looking to break up the flat city scape.
