Description:
The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center made me rethink “What is America?” What could I carve in stone that would represent this event that
forever changed America?
- Robin Antar
"North Tower 9/11” was carved after the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, a turning point in the American psyche that faced a new reality while longing for its nostalgic past. America’s love of comfort food became the pretext for the sculpture, expressed by colorful M&M’s spilling from the wreckage of the North Tower. This conceptual approach aims to convey the sense of loss and the shattering of normalcy, using the bag and candies as metaphors for the Towers and the lives affected by the tragedy, symbolizing fractured American perceptions of safety and unity.
