PASSAGES OF LIGHT: MEMORIAL CLOUD. Our intention is to recognize and honor the victims within a special, shrouded, spiritual space, protected from the noise and pace of the city by a crystalline "cloud." The cloud's top surface is a translucent bandage healing a wound. On the ground beneath the cloud each of the 2,982 victims is represented by a radiating circle of light embedded into the floor, which illuminates the engraved name of the individual victim but also projects a subtle ray of light upward into the cloud. A name appears near those of the people with whom he or she died. The individuals who perished in Tower One define the largest field of lights. A "Line of Rescuers" runs through the middle, where Firefighters, Police, and ordained and medical people can be represented. [Daytime view].
