9/11 Memorial in NYC


The Tiles For America project was started in 2001 by a pottery artist as a memorial to 9/11.  Many people participated in the project by painting tiles to express healing messages.  One day in 2012, Peter and I found these beautiful tiles hung on a chain link fence at the corner of 7th Ave & 11th St - by chance - while walking from the West Village to lower Manhattan.  We were very lucky to discover this wonderful installation in its original location before it was dismantled.  

Today is the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 disaster and I thought about this lovely memorial.
