About the design:
Consisting of an object located within a clearing of a dense grove of 184 trees representing the artifact of subtractive operations totaling the number of victims of the Pentagon attack. As the operands subtract from the object they also subtract from each other. The resulting voids in the object serve to remind us of the immeasurable loss of life. The interaction between the operands results in unique subtractive forms representative of the convergence of personal loss. It is also intended that the operands will be sent to each victim's family or hometown.
