In my opinion the memorial was genius in that is incorporates the
footprint crater, where once stood New York’s twin towers. The massive
falls on all 4 sides have such power and strength from the amount of
water pouring down and the beautiful crashing, white noise it creates.
However, as the strong drops near the inner square fall and dump into a
place you cannot see, that strength switches to hopelessness. There is
such a strong cultural association to the negativity toward deep
crevasses, black holes and hell, that this was all I could think of.
How hopeless and sad this space was. And yes. There is no doubt that
this tragedy and the people lost was a horrible event, but the American
Spirit is built on more resiliency than falling into dispare. Maybe the
creators could have added a powerful shooting geyser to illustrate our
will to live and overcome?
