This design represents each victim from the 1993 and 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center with a votive light suspended over a large reflecting pool. The victims’ names are listed in alphabetical order. A wall on the southern end of the park is engraved with inscriptions with the history of the site and descriptions of the rescue workers’ efforts. Lee has developed some attractions for Disney’s California Adventure Theme Park and currently works as a senior concept developer of museum exhibits in Houston. Lewis is a museum exhibit designer from Houston.
