An Interesting Metaphor…

On our trip to the 9/11 memorial, I noticed a lot of interesting metaphors. One of them was the appearance of the Freedom Tower in the NYC skyline. The tower is built with glass that is very similar to a mirror. If you take a look you will see that the glass of the Freedom Tower looks exactly like the sky around it. You can even see the clouds clearly reflected on the glass. I think that there is some very strong symbolism here. The tower looks “blended in” with the sky. The message is that although we are rebuilding Ground Zero and moving on from the tragedy that occurred here, never forget what happened. Never forget that Manhattan was robbed of the World Trade Center and all those lives, and if you were to look up at the skyline, all you would see is… the sky.
