This painting was done after I visited New York and personally saw the hole that was left. It was a very emotionally draining painting to do. It symbolizes the horror and sadness of this event. It also reflects that humanity can no longer ignore the suffering of anyone at anytime. The crying face symbolizes the deep pain of this event, and the flowing hair is reminscent of the spirits of the fleeing victims. The Moslem women represent the suffering of everyone. It is a very sad commentary on the unkindness of humanity.
