Flag of Remembrance

Created from 2001-2004, the Flag of Remembrance is a 22 x 26 ft memorial honoring those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Photographs of the victims were transferred to fabric and pieced by machine; stars in the blue field, representing the rescue workers, were hand appliquéd onto indigo-dyed cotton. When no photograph was provided, a memorial candle took its place. Each individual is represented by name and age. The work is part of the permanent collection of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.
