On September 11, 2001, during the attack on the World Trade Center, I took a photograph that has become known as Satan in the Smoke. The photograph has haunted me ever since the first moment I saw it.

On the 19th anniversary, I couldn’t find any of the networks covering the ceremony. Finally, I found a live stream from the museum and listened to every name once more. It lasted till almost noon. But I felt I had to do more.

The image of the Tribute in Light from September 11, 2020, in the age of COVID-19 presented a feeling completely opposite of the one I captured on September 11, 2001. It gave me hope for the future, and closure of the past.
