The memorial is formed of 31 separate metal streams, representing each of the victims of the attacks, which loop back on one another, forming one single wave. The sculpture took four months to complete and was fabricated from 316 stainless steel tubes.[4] The names of the victims are inscribed on the streams and placed inside each stream are written messages to the victims from their friends and families.
