2,977 LIGHTS RISE OVER NEW YORK HARBOR AND REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS IN LIGHT
The free public tribute used 2,977 lights to honor each person killed in the attacks and was shaped with input from 9/11 families and responders.
- On Wednesday night, a drone show illuminated New York Harbor, featuring 2,977 lights that recreated the Twin Towers at full architectural scale to mark the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
- Organizers developed the commemorative art installation in collaboration with the 9/11 community, including family members, survivors, and first responders, to acknowledge individual loss within collective history.
- Designed in dialogue with the iconic 'Tribute in Light,' the installation suspends 2,977 individual lights in a helix that assembles into the Twin Towers at full architectural scale.
- Jim Smith, family of NYPD Officer Moira Smith, said the gesture reminds the city of unity, while Korn, CEO of IDEKO, noted the tribute ensures memory continues to shine over New York City.
- As 100 million Americans now have no personal memory of that day, the New York Foundation for the Arts sponsored the project to convey understanding of past events to new generations.
