This piece was done by Diane Miller and I think it was one of the best at drawing emotion from the viewer. On the recent anniversary of 9/11 I woke up at 9am and turned the T.V on see nothing but tributes to the terrible event. Im not normally an emotional person however when it comes to 9/11 something is struck that makes me overcome with sadness. This picture depicts exactly what makes me grieve for the people who died that day. The red hands are a good use of emphasis to show the helplessness of the people stuck in the towers. Not only does it symbolize the helplesness but is also a literall interpretation of the people who were physically reaching and climbing out for any sign of help because even though they may fall, staying in was iminent death. There principle of shape was used in the depiction of the twin towers. I find it amazing how the simplicity of this piece can inflict such strong emotions.
