This was the entry for a proposal of a 9/11 memorial at the ground zero site of the former World Trade Center, downtown, NYC.  The idea was to dedicate a pole topped with a light to each victim (white light for most; red  for firefighters; blue for police).  The height of each pole would vary relative to victim’s age.  Together all the poles would form a vestige of the twin towers.  To visitors it would feel like a steel forest and at night there would float a sea of lights.
