This painting contains a ton of symbolism. First of all there is a ray of light shining on a group of people consisting of workers, policeman and firemen. I believe that this shows that all the people who died during 9/11, including the policemen and firemen who tried to help, will find salvation. The American flag is being raised in the background and this symbolizes that even though America has just gone through this horrible and traumatic event, Americans will join together and national pride will be stronger than ever before. The Statue of Liberty is in the back to show the ideals that the United States was established on, liberty. 9/11 is the biggest event to occur in the 21st century and will always be remembered. I think this event really defined the United States in the early 21st century. It brought together all the Americans and this painting does a good job of depicting that.
