Sketchy painting of gray buildings and devastated World Trade area with and sunset sky, and little orange red dots that represent the helpers in their orange vests, so tiny in the huge scene.

Right after Sept 11, when volunteers had gone in there to help, I was watching it on TV, and noticed these little specks of orange. And I realized they were the helpers with their orange vests on. And it really just got me emotionally, like an intense optimistic sign of people tackling the gigantic job of helping in a scene of tragedy.

June Felter, painter, 1919 - 2019.
