- Description
- Foam core submission board designed for the World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition in 2003, titled “Container of Soles [Souls].” This design plan turns the site into a large container, allowing visitors to throw objects over the walls into the container. The act of throwing objects signifies the passing from life on earth to the eternal afterlife. The act is an offering of tribute. The objects collected in the container are then archived and displayed in the museum.
