9/11: In Your Words

9/11:  In Your Words is the latest in the ARTicles and ARTifacts series by artist, Chris.  In an instant, we are taken back to that tragic day, reading the words of people from around the world recounting where they were when they heard.  The Twin Towers are made up of flags that represent ever soul that perished that day, as well as their country of origin, all scaled to fit the exact dimensions of the towers. 
Like the paper ridden waters that surrounded the city 10 years ago, the floating accounts in the waters of this piece are a chilling reminder of that day.  This piece not only honors those who have passed on, it promises hope with the towers that are rebuilt with flags.  We will never forget, and we will always honor the memories.

This piece is  must see, and it is currently on display at Wet Paint Gallery, 430 Duval St, Key West.  Wet Paint Gallery is donating the proceeds of this piece to the victim's fund of the buyer's choice.
