Eleven Tears Memorial

The Eleven Tears Memorial, situated in the lobby of the American Express headquarters in New York City, honors the 11 American Express employees who lost their lives in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Designed by artist Ken Smith, the memorial integrates natural elements such as light, water, crystal, stone, and metal. Visitors can experience a serene and reflective space, where the interplay of these materials creates a poignant tribute. The memorial is open to the public, offering a place for remembrance and contemplation.
