On September 11th, 2001, the World Trade Center was attacked. Al-Qaeda Terrorists Hijacked American Airlines flight 11 and United Airlines flight 175 and flew the planes into the North and South towers at 8:46 am and 9:03 am. The 9/11 attacks killed nearly 3,000 with an additional 6,000 injured and more added to that number later due to illness related to exposure to toxins at ground zero.

The small physical scale of these drawings is meant to bring attention to the grand scale of these events, both physically and in their lasting impressions on our national psychology. There are a few defining moments in each generation’s collective memory that we all remember, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the assassination of President Kennedy, 9/11. These drawings explore that national collective experience in small meditative vignettes.
