Description

A collection of drawings of some of the iconic images combined with quotes from various sources concerning the attack on the WTC and the heroic response of New York's Bravest. These were then rendered by the silkscreen process into one work of art. The predominant color being the bluish tinge of the Trade Center's steel skin which I remember from my youth, contrasted with the red, white and blue of the American flag and the reflective yellow of the firefighters turnout gear. I titled my work after the quote which referred to the firefighters as "a different breed" because, while everyone normally runs away from danger, these brave men and women run towards the danger in order to protect lives--this phrase epitomizes the selflessness of a New York City Firefighter.
