On the afternoon of September 11, 2001, I was having tea in my studio in Paris when a friend at the American Embassy called: "Hiroshi, turn on the TV. There's been a major terrorist attack in New York. Don't go out today." I switched on the TV in a panic.
I created this work to burn into memory the image of the terrorist attack on New York at the dawn of the 21st century.
