PNM
Pentagon National Memorial
with Claudette Bleijenberg
Competition, Jurors' Selection
Arlington, Virginia  2002

A grove of 184 trees honors each of the victims of the September 11 attack on the Pentagon. South of the grove, a procession begins at the entry plaza. This space is provided for gatherings and as a place of transition to the journey of remembrance.

The location of the tragedy can be seen from the plaza reflected upon the face of a stainless steel wall set within the grove. Leading to this wall, the Passage of Reflection is a simple space for individual reflection. Lining the path, names are inter-layed into glass panels set at a 45 degree angle; allowing the visitor to reflect upon those lost as seen suspended in the reflections of the present.
