Healing

From: September 11

September 11 is one of the few dates that don't need a year. We are all marked by the terrorist attack against the Twin Towers of New York. Two and a half months later, I exhibited The Spirit of America at the Latin Quarter Cultural Center in Little Havana, Miami, and later that year and through 2002, at the University of Miami Conference Center at the James L. Knight International Center in Downtown Miami, Florida. It is my tribute to those who fell. I worked on diptychs, a three-dimensional format on wood, representing the Twin Towers and the vertical flag of the United States, all encapsulating the different stages of healing and mourning. Old Glory, a four-panel representation of the flag, is at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. I exhibited this series in 2003 at the Art Miami and Art New York fairs through the Latinarte Gallery of Miami.
