Waterproof match holder hidden near the Suffolk County 9/11 Memorial.
The Gardens of Rememberance - Suffolk County's first 9/11 memorial was dedicated on September 10, 2009. The memorial was created by a New York-based team: Barry Berger of Barry David Berger and Associates, and Barry Silberstang and Nicholas Agneta of Silberstang Architects. The 179 panels of glass, one extra to honor the volunteers who built the memorial, enclose a garden filled with plants and flowers indigenous to Suffolk County, according to Silberstang. Each panel displays the name, age, profession and hometown of those who perished.
"I wanted to create a garden you can see but not get in as an apt metaphor for loss," Silberstang said. Plants on the outside will be maintained, while the ones inside will grow untended.
The $1.4-million memorial took five years of planning and nearly six months to complete.
Enjoy.
