“What I most strongly felt was the tug between taking the time to honor the day
and honor the memory of everyone who was lost, and honor the gravity of the situation
while simultaneously allowing myself time to continue doing my work,
which is an important part of how I continue to cope…
and to remind myself to see my own work in the larger picture—training young artists
and recognizing and honoring the importance of art and the arts,
especially in the world as we know it today...”
