Falling Man
This installation was a response to the “The Falling Man”, a photograph taken by Richard Drew on September 11, 2001. Upon viewing that image and researching the depths of its context, I felt compelled to react to the substantial number of those who jumped. They, as a separate group,
are unrepresented in any formal capacity. Homicide is the blanket cause of death for all victims of the 9/11 attacks. Regardless of what would have happened if things were different, I find deep human significance in the particular choice made by those that jumped. Or fell, depending on who you ask.
