NPR talks about this 30 hour, 4,882 photo project with photographer Stephen Wilkes:
Everybody could say, “It’s such a dark, devastating scene,” when you really think about what it’s representing. I wanted to create a photograph that had those elements of that narrative storywise, but also was a photograph about hope and coming together. That’s one of the beautiful things that the installation naturally does. Thousands of people come out and connect in a way and can reflect on our collective loss.
