Trying to understand this rejection. Its classified as art/sculpture. But was labeled as generic business and wayfar criteria.
Its a metal 3d sculpture sitting above the pharmacy. Its huge and was there before the the current grocery store was there when it was a another grocery store with 3rd party individual pharmacy. i have never seen anything of a mortar of this size in any pharmancy.
This huge mortar and pestle sculpture links the history of the independent apothecary shop to this present
Supplemental Information
Submitting under exploration criteria. The Price Chopper pharmacist told me that this sculpture was installed as a tribute to the independent shop that used to be here, but I don’t have a link to confirm that statement.
It is not always clear where to post queries, so since this is looking for feedback about why your nomination wasn’t successful I will move it to the nomination support area where people can use their experience to offer suggestions.
It would be helpful if you could post the text - title, description, and supplementary information and location so they have the full nomination to consider.
I’ve seen many of these at pharmacies here in the US, especially those inside of supermarkets. They are usually mass produced, and are more of an advertisement sign than unique art; I also wouldn’t rely on word of mouth from a pharmacist that it was installed to honor the previous independent pharmacy that used to be there.
I would reject this for being indistinct if I saw it in review, and that’s most likely what ML, the AI system, rejected it as, since ML uses Wayfarer Criteria as its rejection reason. The email is also from “our team,” another indication it may have been rejected by ML, as well as a quick rejection, around 24 hours.
Also, just wondering how you know this was rejected as a generic business? This rejection reason isn’t listed, nor would it be given by ML.
Not all of them as the exact same, but most have something similar in design. Still more of an advertisement than unique art to me.
Also, it’s hard to find anything online like this, as not many people take photos of pharmacies. Where I live, most of the pharmacies are independently owned (ND law requires that a pharmacist own at least 50% of a pharmacy to operate in the state). However, I have seen similar signs while traveling to other places.
This is going to be a hard sell to both ML and the review community even if it is unique.
So this one was reviewed by the community, and being it’s at a generic business, that may be why they chose that reason.
What would really help is more proof about this being installed to honor the former independent pharmacy. If there was a plaque next to it describing this, giving more context, I’d possibly accept this. If you can find out more info on Dr Morris, especially the full name and possibly anything online that would give more context, that would be helpful to provide.
Again, it’s going to be a hard sell with the current info you have for it, so more context is going to be needed.
