May today, the anniversary of 911
be about peace
as remember all who sacrificed and
whom were lost, tragically.
This piece is dedicated to all
who were lost and first responders
and their families.
A collection of photographs progressing from before, during and after the attacks on New York on September 11th, 2001. Not knowing what else to do that Tuesday morning, I grabbed my camera and didn't stop shooting.
In “After the 11th,” I’ve identified the psychological, emotional and intellectual states I’ve gone through since September 11, 2001 and have created a piece of art corresponding to each one.
On September 11th 2001, just before the tragic events that would unfold that morning, I was in Lower Manhattan. As I was walking south and thinking about my projects, I suddenly felt an urgent need to pray for many people who were in pain.
