The image above is produced by myself as a reflection of events and devastation that lingered at the time of the September 11th 2001 air attack.
As a none American my memories are not as vivid as those who were close to the event at time, however social media kept a constant stream of news with repetitive powerful images making those in a foreign country aware of the happenings in America.
I have constructed this image using two powerful social media images, the background shows the twin towers after impact with the fumes dissipating into the clear blue sky.
To me this communicates, the cloud in the clarity; a smoke of devastation with no general knowledge as to why?
The foreground however shows the remains of the towers, another image that was constantly used to depict the extent of the destruction. The lonely on-looker signifies the person who is about to try and rectify the problems, the one who makes the decision as to what happens next, he is not a bold figure in this image but more of one who blends in with the disaster.
As a complete image other things to note is the darkness at ground level, this represents the emotion at ground level a dark time, however played off against the strong blue and red of america, it represents hope and recovery.
R.I.P to those who past on this day, you live in all our thoughts
