9/11 Memorial
A contemplative visualization to remember the nearly 3,000
lives perished on September 11, 2001 attacks at the World Trade Center site,
near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon.
At the center of this visualization is an empty space that mimics
the National 9/11 Memorial design. The
blank space embodies the feeling of loss and absence from the taking of
thousands of lives on that pivotal day.
The single lines around the central void represent the lives stolen. Each line is like a candle and by hovering
over the line the name will appear, which is like lighting a candle in honor of
their life and their memory.
There are five red lines that personify the five youngest
victims age from 2 to 8. This color
selection is inspired by the moving image of the little girl in the red coat in
the movie Schindler’s List. Like the girl in the red coat that
represents the innocence of the Jews being slaughtered in the movie, the red
lines in the visualization highlight the innocence not only of the youngest
victims but also of the nearly 3,000 men and women lost in the 9/11 attacks.
This visualization is influenced by the work of Dave Hart.
