Summary

Vanessa Lawrence, an artist on the 91st floor of the North Tower on 9/11, recounts the surreal horror of escaping as debris rained down and a dust cloud rose from the collapsing South Tower — an experience that left her gasping, disoriented, and forever changed. Now, years later, she channels that trauma into art, including her haunting sculpture “Left Behind,” inspired by a flip-flop she lost fleeing the building. She reveals that 9/11 isn’t something you “get over” — it’s something you learn to live with, and only recently has she begun to process it fully.
