Tribute in Light was conceived in the aftermath of the September 11th tragedies, as twin white beacons of light that would rise from Lower Manhattan.
Designed as a gift for New York City and its public, Tribute in Light is a profound symbol of strength, hope and resilience, a reclamation of New York City skyline and identity, a tribute to rescue workers and a mnemonic for all those who lost their lives.
Located adjacent to the World Trade Center site, Tribute in Light is an artistic gesture proposed to foster hope, unity, healing and comprehension of the mass devastation suffered on September 11th by New York City and the world at large.

I think I will always become misty-eyed whenever I remember that day. I was a junior in high school. I had just moved to a new place and that morning I was in the school office where I had a sort of "study period" as a guidance counselor assistant (meaning I didn't do anything, lol). I remember someone running in and flipping on the TV in the office. I looked up from the homework I was doing to see the camera capture the second plane crash into the south tower. Such terror...and sadness. My country...
Always remember...
let us never forget
