SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
"Very soon after I heard the news of the first plane, the second building was hit. This event, and the explosion resulting was witnessed by the world. But I was still listening to the radio. Since I had lived in Manhattan for nine years, I felt like I was there, and felt for my friends. I was captured by the description of the second blast as I made this study, though I had no image for reference, I painted what I felt, from listening to the descriptions".
