its the 11th of september again... annually it remains a constant reminder of the events of the day. unfortunately, thanks to my profession, it has become a game and a battle. now, correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought the competition was a means to creating a memorial. now so many years later, the commisioners, jurers, and architects are still delegating, fighting, and have yet to reach consensus -- though they did decided on michael arad, a youngish newbie (not so distant to maya lin's introduction), who's modest proposal caught the right eyes... but even still, he was chosen in 2006, and now 2 years later, it is still in question as to whether it will even be carried out.
it's just amazing how something which was meant to draw more light and importance to this grave subject, has turned into an unresolved, ongoing dilemma. which is now stirring and attracting negative media.
