On the morning of September 11, 2001, a florist and
volunteer Emergency Medical Technician named Mikey
Flowers grabbed his medical bag and ran the few
blocks from his store to the World Trade Center after
the first plane hit the north tower.
That day he helped people who escaped the towers, tended to the injured, and then ran for his life when the south tower
collapsed. When he was able he took pictures of the chaotic scene.
The images that Flowers took became the basis of a collaboration with the artist Kevin Clarke, whose studio was also near
the WTC.
