Description: The Arizona 9/11 Memorial; a place to reflect on our evolving understandings of the events and their significance; a place to ponder the mystery, magnitude, and impact of change. Stainless steel panels cast sunlight through 54 laser cut inscriptions onto a 42 foot wide base. Words appear as pixels of light and become legible for a time, and then blur again. A salvaged steel fragment from ground zero is placed above a pedestal of concrete mixed with rubble from the Pentagon and earth from Shanksville, Pennsylvania. At noon each 9/11, sunlight shines onto the center of the steel fragment.
