DESCRIPTION: 12-foot high by 6-foot by 6-foot stainless steel, copper, brass and nickel, and copper-nickel sculpture, mounted on a 6-foot diameter concrete base
This sculpture represents Vogel's public artwork called Unity Monument, as well as the memorial site of the same name, paying tribute to the victims of the 9/11 disaster. The sculpture and memorial site were dedicated on September 8, 2002, and the dedication plaque states that the sculpture is "a symbol of our nation's renewed strength and unity, blending five separate metals ... to form a sculpture representing our nation's diversity. The monument faces the East Coast as a Tribute."
Artist's statement: "the Unity Monument [is] a 16' tall creation of five dissimilar metals welded together to become a monolithic rising and twisting structure symbolizing the rebirth of American Unity after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center buildings." - Patrick Vogel
