Description:
This memorial sculpture is a replica of the Twin Towers, created to honor the 343 firefighters who lost their lives on September 11. Each tower bears the names of the fallen, laser cut into the steel surface, serving as a permanent tribute to their sacrifice.
At the center of the installation is a window of remembrance, where visitors can approach and touch preserved fragments of the World Trade Center. The sculpture is set within a pentagon shaped concrete base inlaid with blue and aqua glass, with walkways guiding visitors toward the towers. At night, the structure illuminates from within in red and amber light, creating a quiet and reflective presence.
In collaboration with Jagged Edge Metal Art, I contributed to the design development and fabrication of the memorial.
