New York, NY – On August 4, 2011, from
10:00 am to 6:00 pm, reflections about 9/11 written by over
200 New Yorkers were displayed in a temporary public art
installation in the historic Battery's Gardens of
Remembrance.
The piece, "September 11th Tenth
Anniversary Reflections", is the culmination of a public art
project created by the Tribute WTC Visitor Center in
collaboration with the non-profit Feel the Music!, and The
Battery Conservancy.
Throughout the month of July, tables
with art supplies were set up in parks in Lower Manhattan
and the public was given an opportunity to write or draw on
small pieces of translucent mylar. The reflections are
heartfelt and range from remembrances, wishes for peace to
sadness and anger, and often include stunning imagery and
colors.
