To the Struggle Against World Terrorism, was
conceived as the events of 9/11 unfolded and
Russian artist Zurab Tsereteli walked the streets
of Moscow. Struck by the outpouring of grief he
observed, a memorial with an image of a tear
formed in his mind. Shortly after the attacks,
Tsereteli visited ground zero and looked to New
Jerseys waterfront for an appropriate site for a
monument honoring victims of the World Trade
Center terrorist attacks.

• Zurab Tsereteli is one of Russias most prominent
  and prolific artists. A sculptor, designer and
  architect, he captures significant historical
  events in large-scale sculptures and monuments on
  view in museums and public spaces throughout
  Russia, Europe, Israel, Uruguay and the United
  States. Other noted works by the artist include
  the Victory monument at the Moscow War
  Memorial, Peter the Great in downtown Moscow
  and Good Defeats Evil a sculpture created from
  scrapped American and Soviet missiles on the
  grounds of the United Nations in New York.
