e-prayer

digital collage

after September 11, 2001

5" x 4.19" (300 dpi)

This collage is made of e-mails I received on and after 09/11/01 and demonstrates the way we used the internet to reach out to each other in a time of great sorrow, fear and outrage. A few years ago some predicted that the internet would separate people and make us less connected and personal, but that has not happened. To the contrary, this collage sought to visually demonstrate not only the tremendous emotion we felt on and shortly after that day, but one way we vented our feelings in the midst of a national tragedy. Isn't it amazing how we turned to God and each other? In this information age, prayer is not confined to the nave.
