We enclose an image of
artist Frank Kulon’s latest project,
which he considers to be
his tribute for the graves of those who were injured or died in
the infamous 9-11
World
Trade
Center attack.
Mr. Kulon
lived for many years in
New York City, and now lives a
short drive away, in Sullivan County.
Friends
and acquaintances were injured or died in the attack.
When he
visits the City, which is often, he still can't help but notice
the hole in the former skyline.
He thinks
about the time when he left then-communist
Poland, and when the
Statue came to mind so easily,
and
represented freedom and opportunity for all immigrants.
But, for quite a while
now, the
World
Trade
Center has come to
mind all-too often.
The image represents
personal and national fear and hope.
The image
of the
Twin
Towers is old and
crumbling now, and
America,
and the
Statue of Liberty that once dominated imagery of what New York
City,
had to
offer, is bright with promise, although its heart still bleeds
in sorrow.
The
Twin
Towers will never
vanish from living memory,
but perhaps the promise
that the Statue represents will once again come to dominate his,
and our, thought.
The artist would welcome
any comments or questions you might have about this work.
