Welcome

The week after September 11th, we set off into the City to draw a record of the lives lost. Using a specialized tape, we drew life-sized portraits of every airline passenger and fireman on the buildings of Manhattan. The drawings are counting all 2,749 who passed away in the tragedy.

This website, the Eleventh of September: an act of remembrance, is the cumulative result of 30,000 hours of volunteer effort, compiling five years of documentation and biographical information relating to the people and our journeys through New York City.
