This poignant piece overlays aquatic serenity with historical gravity, creating a haunting juxtaposition. Otters and seals glide through translucent water, their forms playful and alert, captured in quiet, natural moments. Yet just beneath this surface play, the ghosted silhouettes of the Twin Towers rise—soft and spectral, fading into violet and gray abstraction.
Across the midsection, faintly etched in green like reeds bending in current, the inscription reads:
“Never forget the towers. I will always stay in the world’s heart.”
This line becomes a meditative refrain, anchoring the work in remembrance while the creatures above seem to float in a post-human calm. There is no chaos here—only the mingling of memory and nature, grief and grace.
The vertical mirroring of forms echoes a memorial’s structure: steady, reflective, grounded. Yet the aquatic palette and fluid textures suggest a return to something older and larger than tragedy—an eternal cycle of life, mourning, and renewal.
Never Forget the Towers is an elegy rendered in water and light. It invites reflection on collective memory and personal solace, with the animal gaze reminding us that life endures, even in the wake of loss.
