This was the beginning of my artistic expression of my 9/11 experience, although I didn't know it at the time.
I drew this 'from life', at about 3 PM while I sat with my children and other Hoboken residents in Sinatra Park. It was my way of processing the enormous impact it was having on me. I decided to keep a written diary of the next week in the same sketchbook, no matter how difficult.
The diary resulted in my 'Comfort and Hope' project.
