The memorial tries to convey how tragedy exposes an otherwise private, interior world. 

What is meant as a protected, personal space is suddenly laid vulnurable to outside stares and intrusion. With the entire structure falling apart, it is impossible to regain the moment before.

The memorial hinges on the input on those affected, and their families. The various objects that populate the room would be reproductions of personal items, cast in weathered steel to match the structure. These personal effects make the memorial a representation of all the different spaces that are lost. 

These lost spaces represent the cornerstones of a our personal worlds; where we feel safe and comfortable, and where we allow ourselves to think of the future.
