New York Glass

A primitive image of supplication and a cloaked image in medition are my attempts to embed into the two Manhattan structures the importance of this tragedy. While some with validity think the World Trade Towers should not be hastily recreated, I think it is also important through collage to reassemble the past. The glass figures from a wedding cake trade book triy to convey the idea of how fragile life is for all of us. I am sorry that the event led to so much warring hence the glove restraining the Statue of Liberty. "The gloved hand could mean powerlessness," said someone at a show. Maybe restraint and admission of weakness are two sides of one coin, however.
