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.[3] 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.[3]
