The Sphere

Back

This picture was taken in Battery Park, Lower Manhattan New York City. This is now home to the remains of Fritz Koenig's "The Sphere," which formerly stood in the fountain of the trade centre plaza. "The Sphere," a bronze sculpture which weighs 5,000 pounds and is 15 feet in diameter, was gashed and partially crushed by falling debris on the day of the September 11th attack on the World Trade Centre Towers. I found it to be a deeply moving tribute to all those who lost their lives on that terrible day.

But what is even more astounding is the detail you have captured of the dints, scratches and puncture marks left by tragic events that caused the sphere to be relocated. And it is these that add the power to the value of the shot.
