Time To Deflate Photo

This monument is the work of Russian artist Zurab Tsereteli and is located in Bayonne, New Jersey, facing the Statue of Liberty. "To the Struggle Against World Terrorism" was conceived as the events of 9/11 unfolded and  Zurab Tsereteli walked the streets of Moscow. Struck by the outpouring of grief he observed, a memorial with an image of a tear formed in his mind.
A gift from Tsereteli and the Russian people, the memorial is made of steel sheathed in bronze. Standing 100 feet high. In it hangs a 40-foot stainless steel teardrop, representing sadness and grief over the loss of life, but also hope for a future free from terror. Etched in granite on an 11-sided base are the names of the nearly 3,000 killed in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings and terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

Peace through art.
