Delusion, 2001.

(from photograph by Omar Jaimes, 1997)

The last time I was at the World Trade Center was on May 8th, 2001, shortly before I left New York for a 4 month trip to Japan. That day I decided I would return to the towers this Fall and photograph them.

The last time I saw the towers was on my way to the airport on June 2nd, 2001. I always look at the skyline of New York, when I leave the city and when I return. It was strange to return this time and see only a light where the towers used to be. I had somehow wished that what I had seen on TV were not real.
