The Sphere
Is a
large metallic sculpture by German sculptor Fritz Koenig, displayed in Battery
Park, New York City. This was conceived as a symbol of world peace. It was
damaged during the tragic events of 11 September 2001, but endures as an icon
of hope and the indestructible spirit of U.S.
Formally
rededicated with an eternal flame as a memorial to the victims of 9/11. It has
become a major tourist attraction, due partly to the fact that it survived the
attacks with only dents and holes.
When I saw it, I didn´t know what
represent for the country and didn´t know its value I believed that It was only
a monument of an important sculptor of U.S and It was only art. Many feelings
came up like sorrow, courage, admiration, respect when I knew the true history
and its value for the people of U.S.
In Mexico city there is many symbols
and my favorite is the “Torre Latinoamericana”. This building is very important
and represent hope, certainty, confidence for the mexican people because in the
terrible tembror of 20 September 1985 this skyscraper didn't fall and didn't
have important damages.
