After much deliberation, I decided to begin work on an image to commemorate the upcoming 11th of September. A year on from the attack on the WTC and Pentagon, with yet more war looming on the horizon it seemed only right for someone in hlp art to do something. I choose to post now, rather than on 9/11, since most people will be more preoccupied on that day.
The image contains small images of what happened that day, from the night-lit skyline of NY to the moment one of the towers began to collapse. The sunlight on the left representing the hope that people found even in darkness. Nemo Me Impune Lacessit, placed in the darkness just beyond the sun on the left represents people's anger. The two flags at the bottom represent the solidarity between the UK and USA after the attack, and also as a tribute to the Brits also killed in the towers that day. Finally, the text in the bottom left corner is for all those in history, no matter what thier nationality, who have died fighting for freedom, and for those they love.

I do not seek any opinion or help for this image, I ask only a moments contemplation.
