Twin Tower Remembrance

      When watching the State Farm commercial.  I really enjoyed seeing all these children of different ethnicities coming together to sing a song that is dedicated to the great city of New York.  It seemed like these firemen had no idea these kids were coming to sing to them, like it was a surprise.  The only thing that really takes away the good in this is the fact that some major company had to stamp its label on this beautiful tribute to New York.
       The behind scenes video was much more heart warming and sincere than the actual commercial.  Who ever was in charge of the productions of this commercial should have released something more like the behind the scenes video.  Actually hearing what the children thought and some of the stories of the composer, firemen, children and I think even the director was much more heartfelt.

      After spending some time in the gallery I was moved by all of the art work.  I was interested in the different ways 9/11 was expressed. I particularly liked the etchings of the Twin Towers.  In the etching I chose there is a lot of movement in this piece.  The smoke in this piece is outstanding, I loved how the artist   portrayed the smoke.  The smoke had evil and twisted looking faces on the outside and in the inside of the smoke was blank faces, which I believe represents the many innocent people that lost their lives.  There was so many people who lost their lives that we were not able to put a specific face to each and every person lost in this tragedy, unlike the terrorist face who we all the remember.
