The Story

9/11 Trilogy

Rabbi Alvin Fine wrote a poem that begins with the lines:

Birth is a beginning                                                    

And death a destination.                              

But life is a journey…

And Death A Destination

Recently, seeing photos of people leaping from windows of the Trade Towers, inspired this trilogy.  In this piece the attack on America, is symbolized by the colors of the flag and the Trade Towers are depicted by the white stripes and finally the tragedy - the falling bodies.  The descending bodies are slowly enveloped in actual dust collected from ground zero.  The victims having made the journey now rest with their fellow travelers on sacred ground.
