I can’t believe it’s already been 25 years since the 9/11 attack. I was only 6 at the time, and honestly speaking, I don’t remember much of what happened besides school being cut short in the middle of the day and me being back home with my parents as we watched the news. Every channel was broadcasting the same horrific scenes.
5 years ago, I was given the opportunity to photograph the the artist, Gustavo Bonevardi, who created the beautiful art installation, “Tribute in Light”. It’s become one of the most iconic pieces that represent NYC, and of course to pay tribute to many lives that were lost. The installation illuminates the night sky over lower Manhattan every year around this time. It was an honor getting to be directly under the lights that can be viewed from all over New York City with the artist himself.
Enjoy this series of photos taken from a few different points of views.
