September 2001. The paradox of the world: the sadness of the unfortunate in the high buildings, who a only minute before were considered the fortunate. |

The innocent people on the other side of the world whose lives changed or ended after the incident of the buildings in the city they never saw. |

Like many of my previous designs, IMPACT is based on tension. Not just the physical tension, but symbolic tension between poor and rich worlds, between the powerful few and the struggling majority of this one small planet. The sculpture itself is made out of small pieces of Jarrah symbolizing individual's effort to make change. Together, they form the branches of the sculpture, reaching out at various angles signifying the various opinions, beliefs, religions and truths together creating an unrecognized harmony.

The shiny aluminum profiles might be seen as a ghost-like reflection the twin towers. The aluminum might also symbolize the human desire for bigger and higher things. The spine of the sculpture and its captured movement represents time. I wish that all the people of the planet could have the capacity, spare time and interest to see such artistic sculpture as you do right now.
