Ground Zero
2003

A faded newspaper clipping from The New York Times titled "Arts & Leisure" dated Sunday, August 31, 2003, with a headline "PICTURING THE NEW GROUND ZERO." The image shows an aerial view of a cityscape with skyscrapers, but a large green rectangle obscures part of the photo, covering where the Twin Towers would have been. The section below the image has a title "Finding Comfort in the Safety of Names" and a subtitle discussing the significance of lists of the dead in memorials.
