When I thought about the arts and the response to Sept. 11, I knew I wanted to convey the solemnness of the day and that the image had to be both subtle and powerful. There are enough straightforward images of the airplane attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. My goal was to suggest them as they might come into your mind in a memory or by listening to music, such as including an airplane's shadow rather than the airplane itself.
