A memorial will frequently evoke the time that the hero(ine) lived in, although most artists today would probably steer clear of an exact historical recreation. But Barbie-on-a-Blob just has no connection to MW, her times or even the aesthetics of her time. At every level it seems to disregard rather than honour or evoke MW.

In short, to quote Neil Young, it's a piece of crap. The artist might as well have put up a statue of two dogs fu cking in a spaceship for all the relevence it has to MW.
