Eric Fischl, “Tumbling Woman”

Since 2001 Fischl has created several versions of “Tumbling Woman,” varying in mediums and sizes. The piece itself embodies a horizontal movement rather than a crashing down and is a testimony to those who survived as well as those who died. The figure’s hand reaches out in a gesture of connection.
Fischl, who lost a friend in the attacks, is a resident of Long Island where he was on Sept. 11.
